Today was the day to clean up my woking place. I'm a graphic designer who works from home :) but this could be helpful for you as well. I'm going to show you what I did.

1. Cleaning up

First of all it is really important to keep your place clean so you can work comfortable and nothing feels dusty neither sticky. Specially if you spend to much time on that place. I'm a person who works from home and I also like to play some video games there too so it is a MUST for me to clean it up everyday .

2. Fixing some clable clutter

While I was cleaning the dust from the top of the table and inside internal hardward of my humble desktop pc... yeah I'm not joking it is quite just the enough power to work and I wish I could get some updates soon :). Ok.. While I was cleaning my desktop I said to me.. hey.. what if we get fixed a little bit this cable clutter.

just joking... the real issue is the one below

From here you may wat to arrange a little the cables so you can group them in order to position and function try no to rope everything because later if you want to move something it will turn a complicated situation where you have to cut some ropes and at the end losing your time... try to keep it simple but functional.

After roping the cable groups you may want to cut those long tales...

Another artist and mess cleaner upper... ha ha ha - just upvoted you! Spreading the love.

Hahah @granblock two years ago I was like neeejjjj I won't clean up everything.. I guess when you get old and mature you don't tolerate mess around you!

Hey that's really cool. I did something similar to my desk where I tied everything down, but also made it "not visible" so you don't see any cables anywhere...unless your under my desk. I also put LED light strips to give it a cool glow.

@truth-be-told wow! can you take a picture? well I did it this way because I'm always moving stuff around so it keep it functional for me. If I know I won't be moving anything forever I will keep it all roped and hidden hahah

You just gave me an idea....I think I might do a quick post about that today
