Technology and Tradition

How do you ______________? There are few things, if any, that you cant put in that blank.

As the title and photo would suggest I'm looking to ask how you complete different tasks. do you use technology to simplify your life or are you a more traditional old-school doer?

We see this in our own home almost daily; I prefer to use my phone and PC or even the iPad, when I'm desperate; to write notes, contact people, set schedules or even engage with my children at times. My spouse on the other hand (@LittleBoPearce) is so old school she requested paper bills be mailed to her after the credit card company excitedly told her they had fully moved to E-billing services. Now as with all things change can be a matter of time passing, I was told recently that she switched away from the paper bills. Funny bit about that is it took a different change to happen before this one could, she changed her money management plan and started to pay directly to the card a bit each payday, which resulted in the paper billing not accurately showing her the statement of her account forcing her hand.

There are things I still like to do by hand myself as well, there will always be a bit of both technology and traditional methods in how I live my life. It's also fine for you to lean more one way or the other. what works for some will not work for everyone, and this is one of the greatest things about life. as time has gone on I have become very much an advocate for individualized solutions, because one size does NOT fit all. My spouse, for example, would rather whiteout and re-write every single date in a calendar month simply to make it look consistent for scheduling and tote a big ol' oversized portfolio around to do so at a moment's notice. I, on the other hand, keep multiple calendars active on my phone with specific things saved to each so I can show or hide what I need to when I need to reduce clutter.

On Dad's Class, we have a question or homework assignment with each episode to try and enforce an idea or concept for today I'd like to extend that idea to this short blog. Pick a task you do one way and try the alternative method, it will be awkward at first but give it a fair chance by trying it for at least a week before judging how you feel about it.
