Look under your desk. Do your cables look like a complete mess? Mine do, so a few weeks ago my obsessive need for organization got the better of me and I procured a Complete Cable Manager from a place called Cable-Safe (after looking at a few dozen options).

The Complete Cable Manager is a kit that organizes all the cables that come from having a computer, power strip, hubs, printer and other peripherals. It’s outstanding in it’s simplicity: everything from the labeling of 12-14 cables from source to destination, ability to absorb extra slack in cord lengths, versatile mounting options, to the individual racks for your hub and modem. All your cords will be off the ground, safe and tangle-free - out of the way keeping your workspace clutter free. An expansion option allows you to carry up to 30 cables for you computer accessory junkies.

What this means to you: You don’t live in a college dorm so stop letting your workspace look like it.

Cost: $35 @ Cable-Safe
