Cheap and Easy Ways to Manage Desktop Cables

We're a full seven days into our Spring cleaning coverage, and today we move on to an area that most of us deal with every day: our desks. A workspace that is cluttered with messy cords is a distraction, and even more annoying when cables fall behind your desk only to be lost in the rats nest that has formed there.

Get it together! You can keep your cables neat and tidy with something you have lying around the house — a paper clip like the one seen here. Just thread your cable through and clamp it to the back of your desk for easy storage when not in use. It's a cheap and easy way to keep your desk clear of clutter. Don't have a clip big enough? Check out these desktop organizers that will also keep you from digging for fallen cords.
