5 essential cable management tips

Drowning in cords, cables, and wires? We're here to help.

Getting a new desk, computer monitor, TV or other device is exciting, but dealing with the power cords, charging cables and other wires that come with those devices is a different story.

While it's impossible to do away with every cable or cord needed to run all your tech, there are a lot of ways to manage your cables more efficiently, which can help you eliminate the stress of a disorganized space. Here are five useful tips to help combat cable chaos.

1. Move closer to outlets

Power outlets can sometimes be in inconvenient spots, but if you can, moving closer to wall outlets will prevent power cables from needing to stretch across the room. This small change can help minimize clutter and prevent tripping over cables.

2. Go wireless

Almost any time you can go wireless, you will feel a bit of relief from your cable madness.

Wireless Bluetooth headphones and speakers are prime examples of gadgets that can reduce cable fatigue. Yes, I know, they both have charging cables, and I'll get to that in a second, but the freedom and mobility such devices offer are outstanding, are they genuinely make spaces cleaner.

While those are typical examples of going wireless, less common but super helpful is wireless HDMI.
