Quick Tip: Charge the Night Before!!

This is a quick tip that has saved me several headaches, as well as caused several, over the years.  Make sure all electronics are charged the night before!

There is nothing worse than getting through security, sitting down at your gate, getting an important business call, answering your phone only to hear that annoying low-battery-beep five minutes into the conversation.

Now, you have to do the airport shuffle.  You have to grab all of your luggage and carry-on baggage, try and sound as if you are not hurried, and run around the terminal looking for an open electrical outlet.  However, finding one is only half the battle.

Once you find one, you must dig through your laptop bag, purse, planner, etc. to find a charging cable.  Again, all of this while trying sound calm, cool, and collected to your phone audience.

Next, your phone corespondent will ask you to pull up your email so you can look at the spreadsheet they just sent over.....here we go again!

All of this grief can be saved by spending two minutes to plug everything in the night before your flight and making sure everything is charged 100%.
