Showerthought: That influencer told me to buy a $50 planner and I still forget stuff

Ran into an old coworker, Jenna, at a coffee shop in Austin last week. She was raving about this specific digital planner she paid $50 for, saying it changed how she organizes her whole life. I watched her pull out her phone to show me, and then she spent 5 minutes fumbling to find the right app. She finally gave up and just wrote on a napkin. It made me wonder if all these productivity trends are just temporary crutches we ditch when they get annoying. Is anyone else seeing people hype up tools that they barely stick with for a month?

Carried a plain Walmart notebook for years. Simple stuff sticks.

Honestly same, I buy planners just to forget where I put them.

My mom still uses this beat-up old calendar she's had since the 90s. It's held together with tape and prayers, but she swears by it.
