A “home” for your phone

Recommended by Kate Beck

in response to Alice

Please help me put my phone down. Any techniques, gadgets, advice? Something that will actually work and not just for a day or two.

Added these little phone pockets by the front door and in the bedroom with a charger (by the door, away from the bed) so we treat them more like landlines when we’re at home. Keeps the phone out of my pocket and reduces the scrolling temptation!

I’ve been trying to do this too, and can attest that when I’m diligent about it it’s really great!

Love this! Where is the charger?

Thanks so much! I only have a charger for the upstairs one currently since I put the main floor pockets too far from an outlet (oops!). But there’s a hole for the charger in the bottom of the wooden holders 😊
