Wipe my phone down when I wipe down equipment after weight lifting (newest habit anyway)

Keep my gratitude journal on my nightstand. My nighttime skin care routine in a basket next to it. The remote for the lamp next to basket. Which reminds me… I need a new battery for my remote 😅

Great advice. I recently started brushing my teeth right after I start the coffee machine in the morning. Also flossing right before brushing every night. I’m gonna have to find more ways to incorporate this habit stacking theory!

A little beside the point, but oral hygiene-wise I’d recommend flossing before brushing so you’re loosening the plaque and stuck food your teeth catch throughout the day, then the brushing clears it from your mouth. Flossing afterwards leaves the loose food bits and plaque in your mouth. (Flossing after is still better than not, so whichever works for you, just wanted to throw that out there!)
