Tip #22: Tame your home office cords with ties
(Part of the 31 Days of Home Office Organizing Tips)Cords, cords everywhere! If your electrical and data cords are out of control, it’s time to tame them. Labelling them is a good start, but also corraling them so you don’t trip on them (or worse, pull them out accidentally) is important too. There are lots of ways to do this:

I love Belkin’s “Conceal Surge Protector” for some of this. It has a cover to keep things looking pretty. Side benefit – my three cat’s can’t accidentally unplug something or flip the power switch!
