How the day ends decides how the next one starts.
The last twenty minutes before sleep are the ones your brain files most carefully, and most of us hand them to an algorithm designed by strangers.
Take one evening back. Charge the phone in the kitchen, put a book or a notebook on the nightstand, and let the day close in your own handwriting.
Do it once and you will know within a morning whether it earns a permanent place.
How to actually do it
- 01Move the charger out of the bedroom tonight.
- 02Put something readable where the phone used to be.
- 03Use an actual alarm clock so there is no excuse.
You already know if this is the one. Go put a date on it.
