Is that an Olympus Dictaphone I spy there? I have possibly that same one in a drawer very much like yours somewhere. I bet it's got all sorts of voice notes from years ago on it!
I've never heard of ”body doubling” before but external accountability is definitely something that helps me stay on track.
It's probably partly due to my people pleasing nature and not wanting to let others down, yet I'm fine to let myself down.
Why yes it is! VN-4100. I got a little emotional during the declutter session because it doesn’t work anymore, but there are recordings from over a decade ago and I can’t get myself to part with it, even though I will most likely NEVER listen to it.
The answer was that I wrote to connect it via USB to my computer (apparently that’s possible???) and once I determine whether or not I can pull the audio files, then I’m gonna get rid of it.
Hopefully you can get the recordings from it, I've no idea of mine still works but I was blogging about my eBay business back then and I used to "talk out" articles in the car to type up later. Had I thought it would work at the time I could have done a podcast! Weird how your photo brought back some of those memories.
I might see if the way back machine has any of my old website pages cached!

Thanks for the insights.
