Spending quality time with my girlfriend, cooking meals from scratch, watching a ton of movies.

Ain't no App for that.... 100% mate,Look at my office.Looks insane but keeps me sane lolLike Russell Crow in the movie A Beautiful Mind with the sticky notes.Write it down and keep it front of sight = front of mind Good on ya mate!
