{Project: Cord and Charger Organizer}

Simplification is a beautiful thing. I swear it can add

years to your life.

I put a kibosh to a source of daily annoyance and stress

in our house when I put all our cords, plugs and chargers

in one spot.

No more trying to remember what ones were in which

drawer, bag or room. Glorious order.

It cost less than seven bucks (source) and took only a

few minutes to turn an over-the-door shoe organizer

into a home for those items.

I hang it on the inside of our coat jacket closet door so

it's out of sight but near all our doings. It seemed like

a practical place for a few other things, too -- external

hard drives, my flip camera, extra keys, etc.

I only put stuff in there we actually use. Decluttering was part of my mission to simplify.




Lindsay gave me this idea. She made a beautiful version of it when she and Michael

lived in Arizona. I thought the clear pockets would work better for us though. I like

that I can just glance at it and grab what I need without thinking about it.

I did this sometime last year, but it still gets a lot of ooo's and ahhh's when people

realize what it's for. So, I thought I'd share it here.

If only every corner of my house were so well intentioned. :)
