I use a dedicated voice recorder to think while I walk. It has made a world of difference in my thinking. And no, a phone with an app is not the same. A button you can press anytime that just records is a godsent. No notifications, no chats, no Trillion dollar companies giving you dopamine shots.
Your attention is too valuable. We are squandering it on devices that are designed so you can't think clearly.
- evanrelf 4y agoWhat device do you use?
- subhro 4y agoNot the OP but I use a Zoom H1N. Terrific device and runs on 2 NiMH AAA cells

- rocketbop 4y agoAs a public information aside, the phrase is actually "hear, hear".
- hitekker 4y agoToday I learned, thanks.
- hardlianotion 4y agoHm - either parent has edited, or you are objecting to an exclamation mark.
- subhro 4y agoThis is so true. I avoid using my phone other than to receive phone calls and sometimes text people. I find most of the dedicated devices like voice recorders, GPS, flashlight has a far more intuitive, faster and more functional interface than the apps that mimic them on a phone. Also, my GPS can (and has) jumped out of my backpack and dropped over 100ft and worked (and still works) just fine. Not sure I would like to bet my life hoping the same outcome with my phone while I am in the middle of nowhere.
- creakingstairs 4y agoDo you listen to your recordings as you walk? Or does the mere fact that you are recording change your thinking?
