Why is There a Bow on the Doorway?

This is what I see as I exit my studio.

A bow. Right at eye level. It’s to remind me to turn off my mini-iron, which has no auto shut-off.

It’s a very useful tool, though, since it can get into tight spots. Recently I’ve been using it to erase lines I’ve drawn with a Frixion pen. The marks come off with heat, and the mini-iron has been able to easily access the tight turns and dips I had drawn. It erases those lines beautifully.

Do you have one of these irons? If so, how do you remember to turn it off?

BTW, I store the bow, with attached painters tape, with the iron.
