Thats not far from how it is done, we might take a 30# log and whittle it into a 1# bow. After you have done it about 3,000 times you become machine like.
I like the one-month wall or desk calendar in principle, for the reasons that have already been mentioned. But paper calendars can be consulted only when you are wherever you keep the calendar; I have my phone with me all the time. And, truth be told, I don’t have meetings or appointments most days, so just seeing that there is something on a particular day is usually adequate.
I used to do this, but a list and pen are just two more things to carry with me, and I always have my phone with me, as noted. So I tap out the list into a word processing app, then use a stylus to cross off the items as I go along. I did try writing the list into a stylus app, but my penmanship is too lousy for that. Besides, unless I wanted to bring a clipboard, there’s really nothing to write on when I go marketing.
I still do this, but I’m edging away from it. Using my Starbucks card for Starbucks and a debit card for other small purchases is the best way I’ve found to not accumulate piles and piles of change.
I often dry some of my clothes on a rack, particularly jeans that I don’t need to wear for a day or two.
I still use Olduwan-style choppers. Acheulian hand-axes are just a fad. And get out of my gorge!
I’m recording on the VCR as I type this. Make sure to send me my portion of what we won.
I also still use a written shopping list.
Back in 2013, I switched from disposable razors (having previously switched from a cartridge razor) and started using my father’s Gillette adjustable safety razor (vintage 1959) which uses double-edge blades. There must be one or two members who can trump this with using a straight razor.
Last year I bought an analog clock (battery operated). I bought it because it’s similar to one of the watches in The Persistence of Memory.
Exactly. I have nothing against gadgets or toys. I’d like a smartphone, but at the moment I really don’t have a need for one, so it can wait.
I can take notes in Gregg Shorthand.
Like others here I have a paper calendar and keep notes on paper.
I’m frustrated with keeping accounts on my computer. I’m seriously thinking of going back to a paper register.
Oui magazine, know what I’m saying…
I milk a cow, and make butter, yogurt, and cheese.
We cook from raw materials most every meal, and we prefer less processed base ingredients whenever possible, food allergies/sensitivities and dislike of oversalty or oversweet mass market stuff tends to dive this choice. It also seems just as cheap to make stuff rather than buy convenience foods. <shrug>
