If your family is anything like mine, then you had a big influx of new electronic gadgets over the holidays. It seems that each of these gadgets always comes with at least one cable (a charger and maybe a connector). Until yesterday, we did not have any cable organization to speak of…that is unless you count my bottom desk drawer with a big, tangled mess of cables. I could not take one more day of ‘cable madness’ so I created a new cable organization system in our office:
I found this over-the-door shoe organizer at Ikea for around $6. I hung it on the back of the closet door in my office with Command hooks from the Home Depot. (Note: I did not use the over-the-door hooks that came with the shoe organizer because I was worried that it would damage the top of the door.) Next I placed one cable in each of the shoe slots. Finally I labeled each with my label maker for quick recognition. This system works so well that it left my husband and I wondering what we would argue about now…?
Great innovation to solve a common problem! Luckily, my husband is an engineer and very organized so I just let him deal with those types of things, lol! Those shoe organizers do come in handy for a lot of things! Mmm, just saw the link to your recipe for turkey-potato patties and am off to check that out!

The gadgets seem to be never ending!
That is a great idea. We are always misplacing our cords.

And what’s worse, they all look the same! It seems that I have to try 2 or 3 before I find the right one.
Great minds think alike! I just found a little “doohickey” in the Target bargain area to organize the cables on my kitchen counter and I was going to blog about it tomorrow!
