I love this brass mechanical counter I discovered at the SFMoMA store. It's the only product made by a local company, Nanu Electrics, and I use it to keep track of my Pomodoros (25 minute work intervals). It's so satisfying to press the button and having it out on my desk, I can see how much I've accomplished since I started using it and can anticipate the reward of getting to press the button :) Use it for tracking any goal, it goes up to 9,999!

dude I'm doing computer science coursework and using a pomodoro timer so I don't get bored out my mind (I'm on my 5 mins break rn) and it really works and this is coming from someone who really struggles with motivation to work!!!!

It's a good balance of pretty and practical - I use it daily at work just to check off tasks without getting bogged down by "too much planning".
Otherwise dearly miss the Samsung Calendar widget, no longer in the ecosystem and the fact that you could put stickers on dates was life changing for me.
+ Editing this to also add Notion, again a digital tool but is another one that helps me stay on task!

I use a whiteboard on my fridge to keep lists of tasks I need to do both short term and long term. I use a calendar with little stickers to mark when I do the things I say I'm going to do. There's a reason we learn to be rewarded with stickers as kids: it works and is satisfying.
