If you buy things to any extent, you’ve probably got some leftover packaging hanging around. What are some cool ways you’ve found to make use of all these materials? Special props to ideas that can be replicated!
Toilet paper rolls are good for sorting power and usb cords. Just loop them a couple of times and then pull them through the roll. It will act as a band to keep the cord rolled, and you can write on the roll what it is with a marker.
(Saw this on YouTube once)
This is a good idea, and it’ll keep your cords in better shape than wrapping them with themselves. I think it’s best practice for cords you don’t move often though, as lappy cords might not like this.
