Recently I’ve been interested in living without a phone. The one thing is I want to know how to figure out the time. Can you tell me some of the ways I can keep track of time without a phone? You can even give me the simplest options because I’m drawing blanks at the moment.

I can absolutely do that for you, and I’ll give you some of the simplest options to help.

1. Watch - This one seems like a no-brainer, but it can be easy to forget about since so many people have phones. Watches can run for cheap, and if you don’t want to carry a phone around, you can opt for a watch to help you keep tabs on the time at all times.
2. Find a clock - Tons of places still have clocks hanging up somewhere. However, it is less common now because of the widespread use of phones.
3. Ask someone - If you don’t have a watch and there’s no clock, you can also ask someone. If you’re in a store or somewhere with employees, you can ask them. You can also ask coworkers and friends if you’re working or out and about with others.
4. Look at the sun - This will only give you a relative track of what time it is, but it can help. When the sun is halfway up in the sky, it’s about noon. It also rises in the East and sets in the West. By looking at where the sun is in the sky, you can get a relative idea of the time.
5. Get some other cheap device that tells the time - Even Tomagachi’s have ways to tell the time. If you don’t want to keep a phone, but you’re fine with some other piece of tech you’re less tied to, try to find another device that tells the time. Most handheld video game consoles will tell you what time it is, and some can fit right in your pocket. There are also analog and digital pocket clocks that exist just for this reason.
