# Most used 1 item for me Thinking of what item is most used, although is still optional, but becoming more indispensable these days is the phone. ## Why this item gain so much attention and importance? - Partially because corporations like banks made life impossible without having one. - then since I need to have one, then it's useful and faster (convenient) to have the emails accessible - and then comes the next: maps, picture albums, other communication software, other apps to read books, music, etc. - Since the phone is such a 'smart' device it can replace other tools like compass, alarm clock, timer, camera, translator, sound recorder and too many others. Soon, the simple life can become too complex just because of this one 'important' device. However with good intentional planning, exposure to time wasters can be avoided and use the phone only when absolutely needed or really makes a difference. I would also add that the phone is very versatile, hence the reason I chose be the most used item. But the best way to think about it is to use it as a survival item, so keep it and use that thing that can become(timer,camera,flashlight,phone) only when needed so you don't need a separate device.
