I’ve designated one room in my house to be an Airplane Mode room. Technically it has WiFi but whenever I’m in it I behave as if my phone didn’t have any reception. Believe it or not, actively pretending that your phone has no WiFi works better than just passively putting on airplane mode. I always get a sense of calmness when I enter.

What artificial limits do you impose on yourself that ultimately enrich your life?

    For reference, I’m now 43 years old.

    Around 20 years ago, around age 23, I decided to keep my wallet in my right front pocket, 24/7, save for bathing and clothes changing. Yes I do sleep with my wallet in pocket, it never leaves my vicinity.

    I keep my wallet where it can’t easily be stolen, right next to the family jewels ya know…

      Wallet front right, phone left front, keys either left knee or left rear (if no cargo pockets), work keys around my neck on a lanyard. If they arent there I have lost them and they must be found immediately.

      Does it not get in the way or wake you up when you sleep?

      I’ve gone the opposite way the past year or so, after finally adding a card to my mobile, which I was reluctant to do for years, I barely need to take my wallet out with me these days! It’s amazing having a whole free pocket that for most of my life had a chunky wallet in.

        It doesn’t bother me a bit, but it also largely depends on wallet design and pants design. Over the years I’ve figured out an ideal balance for all my pockets…
