I’m getting a hour-glass.

Much better than a regular timer when you’re doing the “Pomodoro” method and have to get something done. But I also have a nice lava-lamp, which is great when you’re listening to music. And a record-player for vinyl CDs. And fidget toys for my ADHD and Autism (to stim while I’m doing something).

I’ll be honest: I need eitiher:

Portability

Analog

If I can’t carry it or if it’s not mechanical, the i don’t care.

    I like the tactility and deliberate nature of pulling out a vinyl, setting the needle and listening to music. The appeal is not that it is analog, per se, but the intentionality of listening to music as its own activity.

      Oho

      Something of its own sake? Intrinsic motivation and action?

      …I like it.
