14. Organize Your Cords & Cables

Most people have an abundance of wires, cords and cables that they have collected over the years. They end up in a big ball of mess in a box somewhere in the house. I have a solution to get your mess in order.

1. Gather all of the cords, cables, and wires that are not in use from around the house. 2. Separate by type. 3. Determine what each cord, cable, and wire goes with each electric device you own and label accordingly.

4. Roll up the cord, cable and wire and secure with a twist tie or rubber band. You can purchase custom bundling devices at evriholder.com, 3m.com, cableclamp.com, griptwist.com, velcro.com and containerstore.com.5. Recycle all the remaining pieces. You can try to sell at a garage sale, give them away, or take them to your local Best Buy Store. Best Buy will recycle them properly so they do not end up in the landfill.
