susandennisPart of this living room redo was to get my shit organized. I have cables and cords and chargers and postit notes and paperclips and earbuds all over the freakin' house. It's ridiculous.
Last weekend after I got back from the Storables store and started putting the low hanging fruit of stuff in order, I started one bin of cables. I've been saving toilet paper rolls for a long time with plans to use them to organize my USB, micro, mini, extension, printer, etc cables. I got two whole piles done. Each one stuffed into the toilet paper holder with both of its ends up so I could easily see. Short ones go two to a roll and long ones are stuff into the rolls by themselves. I have a lot more to go but I've done enough now to buy the concept. It's so cool.
Today when setting the computers up, I discovered that the cable from the speaker to the CPU needed to be longer. I've never heard of a speaker connector extension but I figured Amazon would have one so I went to look. They do. It's even cheap. But, I thought, maybe I'll stop by the toilet roll bin first.
And what do you fucking know???? There sticking up with it's little male/female ends was the perfect cable!!! So now, not only do I not spend $$, and get yet another cable into this house, I now have toilet paper roll space for yet another one. I have a box outside in the terrace cupboard, of more cables and they are going into the toilet roll brigade this week!!
Love it.
