EASY CORD AND CABLE ORGANIZATION// Messy Cords? Cable Management and Organization Ideas

[@deborahderden4860]

If you wrap your cord like the infinity sign loosely instead of a small circle it works very well. BTW, the tighter you wrap your cords the more likely it is that the actual wires inside the plastic cord will break. Looser is better.

Thank you for the helpful tips!!

[@dale3404]

I’m ordering the Velcro items as soon as I finish watching this. I love the idea. My husband is like most guys: neatness isn’t an inherited gene. I’m a everything-in-it’s-place person.

[@johnbehneman1546]

GREAT VIDEO SOPHIA!!!!! EVERYTHING CAME OUT TOTALLYAWSOME!!!!! YES, MY DESK IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AS WELL. GREAT VIDEO AND EDUCATION. THANKS FOR SHARING.

[@GradKat]

Good tips; inspired me to tackle the ghastly cord situation around the back of my television!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Yay, love hearing that!! Good luck!

[@marydieudonne9267]

Sophia, thanks for giving me the motivation to get my cords under control. I have to order a few of the items on your list. This will be my weekend project. Awesome ideas!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

You got this! Thank you so much for watching! 😊

[@deborahbender5333]

Oh my goodness I need help in that area. Yes electric cords are necessary but they look so awful hanging underneath desk on corners and so many other areas. I'm so glad you're having this particular video today thank you so much.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Cords can be so frustrating!! So glad you enjoyed the video and it was good timing!

[@temmietaft2552]

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Happy to hear that, thanks for watching!

[@kimbucha2949]

Velcro cord wraps are a definite game changer!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

[@storyliker7428]

Phew, got saved from a electric shock! my computer cables we're making me mad for a long time so I am glad you posted this really needed video. Thank you So much

[@storyliker7428]

cords and cables have their own mind!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Glad I could help! So glad to hear things are in control now!

[@TheMcGuireLife]

Hi, Sophie this is Jermey McGuire. I have a TV mounted in my bedroom.” I, didn’t like the power cords and audio cable running down from the TV. I, had to zip tie the power cords from the tv and dish Joey receiver and Audio cable to eliminate the clutter.” Before I had 2 power cords and 1 audio cable running down from the TV, now it Loki’s Better than it did before.

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANKS FOR SHARING AND PLEASE KEP US UPDATED.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Will do!

[@MonikaG]

Labeling the cords, genius.❤ We have so many old cords and we don't know where they belong, so I can't get rid of them or I couldn't until now.🤗 I have to try that velcro cable ties too.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thanks! I can totally relate to that! Cords can get so confusing when you don't know what you're looking at!

[@jpdp7542]

For the instant pot, maybe you can wrap the cord first with a Velcro tie before hooking it up to the side of the appliance.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Great idea!

[@newyork21741]

Thanks Sophie

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thank you!!

[@cherjohn4149]

Love it, works wonders.💞

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thanks Cher!!

[@gloriabrouwer]

Loved the velcro ties!!!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Me too!!

[@irisgoddessdance]

My favorite organizing tool is twist ties. Reusable and i get them for free with my food storage bags

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

what a smart economical solution!

[@KimMac17]

I use those cord boxes because i have a bunch of cords and power supplies in a visible area, i can say they are the best and I highly recommend! For those DIYers it would easy to make your own for much less money, but for me the purchase was worth it :)

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Yes they are! I've seen those DIY ones as well another great option 😊

[@leonajohnson9115]

The struggle is real when it comes to cord management! I'm going to give those velcro ties a try :)

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Totally agree! You got this!

[@esperanca2012]

Alternately you can attach the power bar to the underside of your desk. My husband did that for us years ago and I love it as we don’t see the cords (which used to make me crazy) and we don’t accidentally stretch our legs and accidentally unplug something or shut off the power bar - which I’ve done in the past! 😜

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

That's a really good idea!

[@sashal.n9454]

Grateful🎉

[@wrapitstorage]

Great video Sophia! Glad you found the Cable Labels helpful :)

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thank you!! They were a totally winner!! 🙌

[@lindalorton4334]

Wow! I am going to purchase almost all the products you shared! I have a nightmare of cords behind my TV and cable box. I have no idea what is what! I feel blessed I can keep them all hidden but if I had to unplug every one I would be in trouble. Sophie, you have once again given me motivation to tackle all my cords and storage issues. I think I may have cords 15 yrs old! Yikes!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

This makes me so happy to hear that you got a little motivation to tackle your cords too! Love that you found the products useful!

[@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654]

Thank you. I was wondering about using a cord bundle or with the KitchenAid. Right now, I always wrap my quarter round.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thanks for watching!

[@flynn1a]

Loved this video, both what works and what doesn’t. (I’ve had those Velcro ties and didn’t like them, but it turns out I was using them the wrong way.). Love those Velcro cord labels.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Glad you liked it! Yes, not every solution is perfect, and thats okay!

[@kalibaby78]

I use the cord vendors and all my appliances it works really well for me I love them. Some appliances have to be wrapped more like a crazy eight and then just slip it in there it works much better

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Totally going to try that! Thanks!

[@angid3953]

Love the video! I’m in desperate need of the cord organization! The office at my house is scary! I’m fighting the urge to throw all of the cords away & starting over.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Hahah I have totally been there! So glad you've enjoyed!

[@countrybootsgirl]

I need to do this. Awesome!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

You've got this!!

[@vctampa]

another way to mark your cords is to save the bread ties, the square plastic ones, and pop those on the ends of the cords and mark them. but i still like the velcro ones too.

[@larissatom6910]

Large binder clips also work very well as a cord wrap.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Love that idea!!

[@DiybyUnclenui]

👍👍👍 Beautiful to use

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thank you so much 😊

[@snigdhabiju1424]

Can you provide a link for the cord wraps you have used, the shoe lace kind? Thanks!

[@dicesof8]

Awesome video. I may or may not have put a good portion of your linked items in my cart 😉

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thank you!! Haha love it!! They are some good products! Thanks for watching 💓

[@emilycarrolleden3335]

Where did you get the boxes that are on the cabinet that covers the power strip and cords? One is tall and the other has 3 drawers? Tia!

[@Eeeekamouse]

Ugh I'm constantly struggling with cord management, especially under my desk. I know i need something to go in front - like what you did - i want it all hidden!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

You've got this!! Yes, hidden is the best!

[@trigeminalneuralgia1]

Awesome video! Maybe I missed it, but where can I get the flexible cord wraps you showed for the cords in the drawers?

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

In the description

[@trigeminalneuralgia1]

Thanks SO much!

[@vctampa]

when you wrap up cord start from the plug end.

[@gracevicedo4338]

Thnx for sharing😍

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thanks for watching!

[@sbeckas]

Label maker link? thanks for your helpful great ideas.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

It is so old but it is a brother p-touch!

[@lytaylor1204]

Regarding the cord wrap on the Instant Pot: doesn't the side of the Instant Pot get super hot? I'm wondering how the Command hook is going to do if you stick it on a surface that gets really hot. Doesn't it dissolve/weaken the adhesive?

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Really interesting thought! I still have it on there and I have used the instant pot a couple of times, and so far so good, but I'll keep you upated!

[@lytaylor1204]

@@SophisticatedOrganization Yes please keep me updated. I have several of those Command cord organizers and would love to use it for the Instant Pot if it holds up over time.

[@jackiebiggs8159]

Where did you get the white velcro that you can write on

[@mel_ssb]

Where did you get those cord wrappers that kind of look like shoe laces?

[@julial3758]

I have those velcros, and they're like really annoying to use because it's so long.. I mean it's great for bigger appliances like if you have printer thick cables, or like, old pc thick cables, blowdryer, microwave.. . Other than that, for smaller things that i need such as usb cables, c-port cables, headphone wires, etc etc.. it's wayyyyy too long and annoying to wrap it like 10x around. So those smaller cables we actually use way more often. so we're constantly tying it around like 10x and untiing 10x gets really annoying. The thicker cable items we're actually using it less to tie and untie. *SIGH*.. so im on the search again for better velcro ties.

[@gayleneb57]

Great ideas! Do you have a link for the oxo cable drop? I haven’t been able to find it. Thanks!

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

It looks like it actually might be discontinued!! 😖

[@gil-juniorriseabovebetraya5972]

whats the name of the 1st song???

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Shoot I wish I remembered!

[@funincluded]

Step one: own three different label makers

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

not necessarily!

[@loopylou5841]

Really

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Thanks for watching!

[@thekeyboardzone-kas]

It was painful watching you struggle with the Command Hook on the Instant Pot and the mixer. You totally don't get how that's supposed to work. It's SO SUPER EASY if you do it correctly. You are trying to "hang" the cord on the hook. That's NOT how it works. You just take the looped cord (that's in a circle, just like when you're about to hang it), press it together as if you were going to wrap a Velcro loop around it, place the ENTIRE looped cord inside the area where the Command hook is HANGING (not anywhere near the top hook where you were hanging the cord), then you bring the lower portion of the Command Hook up over the cord and fasten it to the hook. The cord is then just LAYING kind of "loose" inside that looped area, but it's NOT "hanging" on anything. It's just pressed tight inside the Command Hook loop. Does that make sense? If it's done correctly, it's SUPER CONVENIENT and neat looking - and a lot easier than trying to store the cord without the benefit of an accessory.

[@SophisticatedOrganization]

Yes, thanks for sharing!

Why does everyone have to put this silly rnb music over everyyyy video? 🤦🏼‍♀️
