2167 Too Many Cords

Thursday, December 18, 2008

Why does every rechargeable device need to have a different charger cord, and a different USB cord? I noticed today that I have nine different cords in the kitchen and den, and many of them are similar enough that it's possible to pack the wrong cord for the weekend.

So today I put little paper tags enclosed in cellophane tape on all of them.

I feel so virtuous. So organized.

If you use the Avery adhesive labels you don't have to use tape. I had to do this for the same reason. I could not remember which one was which because some you don't use as often. I also label the cords on the back of my computer where they plug into the power strip because to unplug anything you have to be under the desk and cannot see what cord you are unplugging.

I've seen 2 or 3 models of charging cable organizers. It's a neat and tidy idea, but I tend to use a lot of my charges in different areas of the house at different times, so having them all in one place wouldn't really be a help. I prefer to label mine like yours.
