Is it a note-taking station? Is it a decoration only? Is it your regular journal? Is it a shopping list maker? Is it on display or tucked away?

I use mine to quickly write down ideas, so that I don’t get distracted by other things on a computer or have to wait for a computer to boot up. Other than that it’s a conversation piece and a decoration.

Edit, I forgot to include, I have a Royal like the one below. It was the cheapest one at the antique store, and it has worked perfectly for the 10+ years I’ve owned it.

    My phone has notifications that distract from the idea I had, and I can use all my fingers on the typewriter rather than 2 thumbs.

    Downsides are a lack of autocorrect and too much noise if anyone is sleeping.
