Home life hack for the cable nest: unplug and sort by device, label both ends with tape, mount a power strip in one zone, Velcro-wrap lengths, route along desk legs or TV edges with adhesive clips, and leave a service loop so nothing yanks loose. 45 minutes once — calm every day after.

02Power strip zone
Pick one place for the strip — under desk or behind TV stand. Plug bricks there only. Route device cords to that zone.
Don't stack power adapters on top of each other — heat needs air.
Pro tip. Surge protector for TV/PC — cheap insurance.
