The backers for legal pads work really well. I did this at my then-employer out in the parking lot for the May 1994 annular eclipse and my co-workers were like "what mysterious magic be this?" It also helped that the local classic rock station played Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety during the eclipse period and every radio in the building was at full blast. Yep, a 4-story bank building was rattling and shaking to the sounds of Pink Floyd. I can neither confirm nor deny that certain activities may or may have not taken place in the far-flung corners of said parking lot.
Once you're in full totality, it's safe to look up and observe the corona.

If you aren't already under the path of totality, you're probably better off not even trying. I can only imagine how bad it's going to be up here in 2024.
