DIY Cable and Computer Cord Manager

Put this squarely in the “dammit, why didn’t I think of that first?” file …

computer cord manager

If you’re like me, you’ve got random cords n’ cables stashed (and likely tangled) all over and around your computer desk. Charger cables for your cell phone and mp3 player; headphone and mic cables; game controller cords; basically anything that can be plugged into an outlet or a PC jack could probably use a little organizational lovin’. That’s why I was thrilled to find this ridiculously simple, yet utterly awesome DIY computer cord manager hack. All you need is a handful of inexpensive binder clips (easily found at any office supplies store, or even a Target or Walmart). Attach the binder clip to the edge of your desk and slip the cord connector through the widest part of the clip arm. Just be sure to measure the lip on your desk to ensure that the clip can accommodate the correct width – though in most cases, buying the medium or large clips should be fine. Genius!
