Might I recommend getting clip magnets so you can clip up letters or notes you have to remember or bills you have to pay. A cool candy wrapper. Some business cards you’ll most likely never look at but have pretty logos. old photos of distant relatives. Or ones you didn’t get to meet but you were holding the photograph for your mom and then decided to keep it. Postcards. Drawings from friends. polaroids with friends
if the text requires more than 3 sentences it’s a voice memo! the efficiency of just getting to speak! the intimacy of sending your voice and the process of gathering your thoughts in real time! the presence of tone and vocal inflection! i actually aspire to only ever communicate via phone calls and voice memos. texting is such a menace in my life.
