Taming the tangle of cables around your desk can bring order to your workspace. Here are simple strategies to manage the mess.
First, unplug everything and take out old cords you don’t need anymore. You might have some you haven’t used in years hiding back there. Before you start again, clean all the surfaces and wires with a damp cloth. This makes everything fresh and ready for organizing.
Next, plan where each wire should go. Make sure you get cords that are close to the right length for what you need. If you use a desk that goes up and down, think about how much cord you need when it’s raised. You don’t want your computer to be lifted off the desk by a cable that’s too short!
Most modern desks have special holes or trays for wires already built in. Look for these and use them first. Also, grab any rubber bands or clips you have in your house. These can help bundle cords together.
A good product is the Trixig 150-Piece Cable Management Set. This has many different pieces to help organize all your wires. Remember, neat cords make your desk look better and help you find what you need faster.
