I can’t help but want to save money. Life is too hard and finances are too hard to come by for 99.9% of us, so whenever I can, I try to make easy money or save it where I will know no difference, because why let someone else have your money when you can keep it?

I use it almost entirely for notifications, which I can lift my wrist to see, then deal with them, or move on. That is the value here.

If anything, I use a Jibun Techo for a planner, but I wouldn’t even say that this is close to being the same. If anything I make throwaway notes and then digitise them onto one of several free apps such…
