The headphone industry is a two billion dollar a year industry, and that's just in the US alone.
So chances are you have not only one pair of earbuds, not only two pairs of earbuds; you have probably more like half a dozen pairs of earbuds lying around your home at any given time.
Now of course, we get our earbuds when we purchase a new smartphone or perhaps an mp3 player.
But chances are you've probably upgraded your earbuds to something that's of a bit higher quality or something that just fits a lot better.
Well today, I want to show you what's the most efficient way to travel with your earbuds.
So we know if we take our earbuds without a carrying case of any kind, if I just wrap them up against my finger like this and I throw this into my bag, that's going to be a knotted mess when I go to use them.
It might wrap itself up with whatever else I have in my bag, and I'm going to be spending time taking out knots and uncoiling this when I want to listen to my music.
So what's the solution?
Well, it's something that you might already have lying around your house.
It's a coin purse or a change purse.
You may have had a few of these when you were a child.
I know I had lots of fun with these.
They have a spring opener, just a gentle squeeze opens them up on the top; otherwise, they always remain closed and they're very, very thin—extremely thin.
So when I'm traveling, I use the same method.
I'll take my earbuds and I'll wrap them up against my finger like this, but then I can just tuck them into my change purse.
And look at that—it keeps it very, very thin.
I can slip that into my backpack, slip that into my briefcase, almost anywhere.
They're safe, and they're easy to get to.
But the added bonus is that they do not knot up.
The way that I put them in is the way that they remain.
So when I go to use them, I pull them out; I don't have to untangle anything.
I just pull them out, and I'm ready to listen to my music at any given time.
You can pick up a coin purse or a change purse at most dollar stores.
If not at a dollar store, you can certainly find them for less than five or six dollars.
They're usually made out of leather or synthetic leather, and they can also be used for many other purposes.
So there you have it—the most efficient way to carry your earbuds.
Until next time, it's very simple.
It's become far too easy for us to look at a dashboard to determine if we slept well last night or if we had a high-intensity workout.
But how do you actually feel?
Do you feel well rested?
Do you feel good?
