For many, one of the most frustrating problems is tangled cables. Despite our carefulness, wires in the workplace seem to tangle into complicated knots magically. But this problem doesn't have to be your torment—there is a simple way to manage tangled cables. What's the secret?
Trick for tangled cables
A true lifesaver is a cable organizer if you struggle with tangled cables. You don’t need to invest a lot of money in it. Various professional organizers are available on the market, but you can also easily create one at home. The process is straightforward and doesn't require much effort. This way, your cables will always be in place, and you’ll avoid frustration.
How to make a homemade cable organizer?
To create your organizer, it would help if you had two old shoeboxes (the same size) and scissors. You might find these in your closet, basement, or attic. If not, ask at a shoe store—often, sellers are happy to give away unnecessary or slightly damaged boxes. Once you have the necessary materials, you can start working!
On the @organizacjaprzestrzeni profile on Instagram, you'll find a great guide on creating an organizer from old shoeboxes. By dividing one of the boxes without a lid into four parts, you will get an equal number of cardboard pieces to cut. Then, place them in the second shoebox—they must fit perfectly like puzzle pieces.
After placing all the cardboard pieces inside the box, they will form four compartments—done! Now, organize your cables, untangle them, sort them, and check if all work. If you want your organizer to look nicer, decorate it with colourful paper. With many cables, it’s worth making at least two such organizers and labelling them well.
