I think calendars might be high on the list for me. For whatever reason I think having to have physical calendars up or at the desk caused some unneeded stress or anxiety, or even some depression if there was nothing on there. I never really thought about it too much until today. I read some dumb article about the phone replacing everything and the calendar jumped out to me. I cannot really remember throwing away my last calendar, but that was certainly a nice day. Grocery lists is also up there too, but not as good as calendars.

My husband likes things old school. I use my phone for just about. He likes to do things with pen and paper, or use a phone as well a phone.

@rz3300 I've embraced advancements in technology. It also needs to be said, due to being blind I've come to rely on it. However, as my vision declined over time, I still understood the value of a hand-written note or a hard-cover book.

@kaylachan I am kind of like that too, but the more and more we go I am finding some benefits of using more technology. But give me a paper copy of a book or paper anyday.

The phone has replaced Hubby's grocery list. But I don't know what is on the list!!!!! I say things we need, then after he goes shopping I realize some things never made it to the list.

@paigea I still sometimes do a paper list because it is easier to pull out and look at, but more and more I am going to the phone.

@rz3300 A paper list is easier for us both to see.

I like having big calendars to write my notes on them (like a planner). In here, big establishments like malls give away calendars to loyal patrons

I like my calendar and my notepad (the physical one with pen and paper). I don't really miss my watch though.

My mom still likes to make list on a paper. She still use calendar And some traditional way of doing things. I told her that she can use phone to replace that much of time, but she doesn't listen to me.
