you can still use your fingers. it’s how we got our standard of time. Back then they counted the joints in our fingers minus thumb. 4 sets of 3 for our four fingers and 3 joints per finger. Then 5 sets of 12 to make 60. as they would use the fingers on the other hand to track how many times they counted to 12.

My favorite system like this is the Oksapmin counting system. They use a base 27 system. It’s based upon counting upper body parts.
The Babylons had a great counting system using the segments of their fingers
Thought I prefer the binary counting system
