💬 Your Success Stories

I never really thought about how dirty my phone was until I read an article about it being dirtier than a toilet seat. Yikes. Now I keep a small microfiber cloth and screen spray at my desk, and I give it a quick wipe while waiting for meetings to start. It only takes a minute, but it feels oddly satisfying and productive. My screen looks clearer, and I feel better knowing I’m not pressing germs to my face every time I take a call. Small habits like this really add up over time.
