You'd be amazed at how easy it is to break a habit once you give yourself rules - but that gets tricky when restricting yourself from a vice! Whether it's junk food you know you shouldn't be sneaking or a mobile device that can easily turn into a major time-sucking distraction, there's always something worth giving yourself a bit of time away from. Try locking them away and starting with an hour or two at a time with one of our favorite timed lock containers.
Starting off strong, we've got a food grade container that nudges you to lay off the midnight snacking! Available in a variety of sizes, this container is safe to keep in either the fridge or the pantry and can hold every craving from brownies to potato chips and everything in between.
Looking to start a little smaller than a whole container of cookies? This travel-friendly time locking container is small enough to follow you anywhere and big enough to hold most phones as well as a few bags of candy!
Now this is particularly clever for those of us who struggle to put the phone down once we curl into bed - and don't we all wish we could be better about that? The openings allow you to answer a call in an emergency or shut off a morning alarm, but this handy case keeps the rest of your phone's functionality locked away so you can catch some z's!
On the other hand, the Pillar is the tech-lover's solution to squirreling away smaller items with voice activation and app connectivity that ensures no one can get to your things by you - ideal for roommates or family members who can't seem to keep their hands to themselves.
This, we love for its size. Especially if you're a parent establishing rules around video games and other distracting devices for kiddos, this ten inch tall container can hold television remotes, game console controllers, and many handheld gaming systems!
The perfect size to hide away not just your phone, but also those spare cigarettes you keep swearing you're not going to smoke, this lock container can keep things away for any lengths of time from one minute all the way to 999 hours!
Willing to smash open a plastic container to get to what you want? Perhaps you're in need of something significantly more sturdy. You'll have a much harder time cracking into this reinforced safe.
And if your nasty habits are far bigger than can fit into a container, get yourself a little padlock like this one. Whether you're keeping yourself out of the entire refrigerator or even the entertainment center, this will prevent you from trying for up to 99 hours and 59 minutes.
