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 was definitely in more of an analogue phase at various points of my life. I remember someone snarkily making a joke on abacus(i?/es?) during a dnd game and I pulled one out of my bag.

      I was an abacus kid growing up…

      …Yeah, I know, but it at least got me in love with analog, or spurred on that part of me.
