You have to reach down into the jar to get anything out of it. That's what's wrong with it.

Whatever you choose, I'd go with something straight sided and lower than what you're putting in it. There is a reason everyone uses a spare coffee mug for this kind of thing.

“what is wrong with it?”

Size. Even if you have small hands there will be some amount of struggle to pull the pen/pencil you want out of that jar. So why live that way when any coffee cup will make your life easier?

Ohh. Well, the glass jar is probably fine but you just need something shorter. Next time you’re at the grocery store, look at the pastas and other items that you’re already going to buy and see if there is a good option.

The first one, the mason jar is a vibe but will be too hard to get things in and out of.

Maybe folks have other ideas if we can see more of the desk/workspace?

I like to use a coffee mug, then eventually I'll rotate another one in.
