How do you deal with not having a smartphone in your daily life?

Here's a weird auto Q&A where I try to answer to my own questions, but I'm really interested to hear your (and others) real-life experience, and cases where you miss having one :

Emergency contacts with friends and family? Well, they're probably better off calling professionals (firefighters, police etc.), but still. What about making the call yourself, if needed? That's a tougher one.

Agenda reminders? Taking notes? Ok, root_vegetable suggested a paper version. This could work for me, although it's a bit annoying. I'd need to have a bag with me at all times. Or not, If I use super small items.

Playing chess? Better play at home, focused.

Alarm clock? Just have a dedicated one. What if you don't sleep at home but you need to wake up? There are probably easy ways, but not as convenient.

Various timers? For sport, cooking... Again, possible to have a dedicated item. And on the go, it's possible 'and welcomed) to train without a timer once in a while.

Music player? You answered that one, but the downside is having to use one more item instead of just one.

Web? E-mail? At home, at work, a wifi hotspot.

Calculator? Fingers. Just kidding (well, partly...).
