Charge phone

About this visual support
Plugging in the phone is one of the smallest moments of the evening, and maybe that is exactly why it slips so easily. When the couch feels soft and the eyelids get heavy, tomorrow morning is not where thoughts go. The cost only shows up the next day, usually at a moment that matters.
A visual schedule for this single step works as a small hook for the eye. When the picture of the charger sits inside the evening routine, the action gets tied to a place in the order, not to remembering on your own. The image is still there even when the brain has already shifted into low gear.
One practical tip: place the picture right before tooth brushing. That way the charging step passes before the body has settled on the bed, and getting up again is not needed. Inside the Routined app, you can stack the whole evening with images, so the charger finds a fixed spot next to the pajamas.
