There are also alternatives to consider that avoid using electronics completely!

## Pen & Paper

A small notepad and a set of good pens can cost under $5 USD.

Some may consider this wasteful, but at the end of the day, it saves:
- time from the lack of distractions,
- energy since it is easier to focus on, and
- electricity since devices need power to run.

Even though your electronic may not waste any physical resources, it requires power to run, which needs to be fueled somehow.
