    … you call that a ‘trick’? I thought that’s what everyone does :)

    I’ve been there though, it was really hard for me to wake up. But I’ve found my own tricks:

    1. Get a smart lightbulb in your bedroom, program it to turn on dim and slowly get brighter in the morning. Don’t get one of those wake-up lights, they’re super expensive and weak as hell, it should get as bright as possible.

    2. Get an app/alarm where you have to do something to turn it off, like scan a qr-code in the bathroom. I do math problems, because I could walk around for an hour but if my brain doesn’t get active I’ll fall right back to sleep 😣

    Just so I’m clear as well, I disagree with you on that most phones are easily destroyed :) People are just overly worried about destroying their phones, which is pretty unlikely to happen, because repairing them is annoying and expensive. So they use a case, but it really isn’t all that necessary to do so.

    I’ve had my phone caseless (with screen protector), and dropped it plenty of times, for 4 years and haven’t broken it once. I’m also not too worried about breaking it though because it’s easily repairable. If all phones were I think people would forgo a case more often.






  • I use the Fjällräven/Specialized (now seems to be rebranded as ‘Hoja’) hip pack for this.

    It’s just about big enough to fit an average book, my headphones, and some miscellaneous stuff. But if needed it’s also expandable so you can fit a jacket, or groceries on the way back etc.

    It has completely replaced the backpack I used to carry everywhere (which I carried because of wanting to bring a book).
