- One easy option would be to always park on the same level. However, even going all the way to the top level didn’t always work out.<\/li>\n
- I always had a small notebook in my back pocket, maybe I could use it to write down the level and row.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Experiment<\/h3>\n

- I started writing level and row down in pocket journal:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Observations<\/h3>\n
- \n
- That worked but it always required 2 hands. I usually had at least one bag in hand.<\/li>\n
- Because it took two hands I would wait till I got to the elevator to set my bag(s) down to record.<\/li>\n
- It was a long enough walk and I would often forget to record by the time I got to the elevator.<\/li>\n
- I figured I could hack together some type of app that would work for me.<\/li>\n
- I knew there were probably some existing apps I could use, but the use case was simple so I wanted to use it as a challenge to see if I could build a very basic app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Experiment<\/h3>\n
- \n
- I have an Apple Watch and thought building complication(widget on watch face) might be a good solution. I did some research and found this tutorial on how to build a simple complication:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
