Brand, thing, behavior, method, advice, mantra, etc.

I swear by Blackwing pencils.

Also, the 'two minute rule', which has really improved my life: "if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it." I've got untreated attention issues and it's very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn't forget in the long run has been great for me.

Not of you have a foldable, they aren't. Otterbox cases used to be good, but they can't seem to figure out proper hinge protection like the other case manufacturers have. So they just leave the hinge exposed.

Already broke one foldable when my phone landed directly on the unprotected hinge and shattered the inner screen. Thankfully the phone was insured, but I'll never buy another Otterbox again. The $20 generic case I purchased is built much better and actually protects the entire phone, hinge and all.

Good to know, I don't have any experience with the folding phones.

Folding phones are just status symbols for people who like to buy expensive trash.

Much like anything with an apple logo.

It's actually very useful. I can bring a tablet everywhere I go without having to charge and carry two separate devices. And it fits in my pocket!

A foldable is worth it for restaurant menus alone. Videos are so much better too.

Folding phones are trash and not a Metric to decide the status of Otterbein as a whole.
