You know when you've stopped shopping for a while and return to discover there's been signifigant advancements in school/office supplies? Did you know Sharpie makes a liquid erasable pencil now? I digress.
Also new-- Post-it makes a label roll with a paper surface (and it's the greatest)! Today I'll share a quick way to use it for cordzanation-- cord organization that is :)
one// Tear off a 3" or 4" piece of post-it tape and fold it around your cord, lining up the edges and sticky parts face-to-face. Write your descriptive word on both sides of the tape.
two// Trim the tape end with a rounded curve. Be careful you don't snip the cord.
done// Super simple, almost cost free and easy to repeat :)
Plugging in will be quick & accurate and it will be easy to find the right cord in 'the pile'-- over time, I forget which goes with which but never want to throw them away "just in case". Problem solved!
Great Cords to Label:
Entertainment Unit, Computer Cords, Craft Equipment, Appliances, Tools in the Garage, Adapters & Chargers. Best cords to label are the ones that disconnect from the thing they 'work'.
Now let's take Cordzanation a step further...
While perusing the electronic store this weekend (reference gadget addiction), I found these Velcro Straps and picked up a 6 pack... and they're wonderful! I'm using them to keep my computer cords together on my desks (easy to plug in my charger/usb cords when I bring my laptop back and forth) and like a true gadget geek, I also bundled all my other cords with velcro straps so their drawer looks nice and pretty :)
Am I the only one that likes stuff like this? Tell me you're with me ;)
