So, I've had this problem that's gotten a little out of hand. I've been running over all my computer cords, my cellphone charger, and I have E-motion wheels, and last night I completely broke the charger to my wheels, due to my negligence. I have a lot of things that I charge throughout the night and I live in an apartment I don't own, so I can't really drill holes into the walls near me. Pretty much fed up with having to pay for wheeling over these stupid things and was just wondering if anyone had any solutions/tips/anything is welcome! Thanks

I was contually having such problems my solution was to reorganise the entire house to get cords out of the way as much as possible and to go wireless where possible , the only idea solution is to buy your own place and remodel it so everything is in the most convenient place but as many of us are not in a situation to do this it is something we have to live with .

they have things, i dont know what they are called, that hold your cords off the floor and on the wall. they have them at walmart or a discount store or you might try a computer store to find out what they are called. a computer store probably has them but they are more costly there. if you have a staple gun you could use that, it would be less expensive. just make sure your staples are big enough to go around your cords and not into them, and long enough to go into the wall and hold your cords. when you move out, there wont be big holes left there.

Use zip ties and lay the cords closer to the walls.

Hi,




There's a new charing system with a flat charging base and lay your devices on it no additional cords needed... i think some of the drug stores sell them. Or you could buy a decorative box long enough for a power strip to fit into plug all your devices' power cords into the power strip. The box should have a slot so you can plug the power strip's power cord into a outlet.

Why is it that my first thought is duct tape. Even on carpet you can double it up to make it wider and it will hold your wires in place. Not easy from a chair,, but it can be done.

Thanks ya'll!
I've just been going crazy. I live with my father and my brother, so I'm sure they can help me implement some of these ideas.
A friend of mine asked if I could just zip tie my surge protector to the rod of my hospital table, which isn't a bad idea....but it might not stretch as far then...
Grr, there always seems to be some downside to everything I think of!
