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 use analog vapes for weed sometimes and enjoy the process.
There's still a ritual to everything when heating things with an electrically-heated coil, but it is less hands on.
The analog for vaping is smoking a joint.
Yeah, I feel like rituals provide consummation.
Analog is great for that.
