Do you have a designated spot to charge your electronics at night? Many of us use our phones as an alarm clock, so chances are it’s on or close to your bed. I created a night time charging station in my nightstand because my kids turn in their phones and iPods before they go to sleep. I recently purchased new bedroom furniture and was happy to see that the night stands have an electrical cord attached to the back. I plugged a power strip into the back and brought it through into the drawer, you can also to this with an extension cord from a nearby outlet. This way we were able to put all the phones in one place without messy cords lying around. I also purchased a piece of foam board and some soft velvet fabric. I cut the foam board to the size of the drawer and stapled the fabric to it. This not only makes the drawer look nice, it’s not so noisy when you’re plugging in against the wood drawer.
Organization is about having a place for everything. Our phones and electronics are with us all day long, but when we sleep, they should have a tidy place to retire to as well. How do you store your electronics?

Great idea! Our new phones don’t fit quite right on our docks so I’ve been trying to think of something. Thanks for sharing!!!
Brilliant! I love this solution, both for it’s organizational qualities, but also for the “routine” you’ve established with all family members turning in (and turning off) their electronics at night. Will both implement and share this idea (with proper credit due, of course!). Thanks Monica.
