What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier? (lemm.ee)

For example, I 3d printed a box over my outlet to protect my cables from my bed pushing against it. In addition, my cables never fall to the floor so they're much easier to grab.

I got rid of my cell phone. It ruins the point if you can't use it while working, can't use it while in a vehicle, can't use it while sleeping, constantly have app issues, use it scarcely, and its usage is 90% car warranty. Not worth it, cannot emphasize that enough.

That is a different take from what I usually hear from people. Am I right in assuming that you are in a line of work that doesn't require you to communicate that much.

But even so, how would you communicate with your family or loved ones if they ever have to be away from you for some time ?

I guess more people started using the so called 'dumbphones'. Maybe owning something like that will the serve the purpose of occassional communication for you.

My work does include phones, just not cell phones, which also means I pay none of its bills. If anyone needed to communicate with me, there's always what we're doing right now.

I switched to a $20 feature phone years ago and been so much happier healthier.
