The 4 hour desk cable job that took 3 weekends

I finally got sick of the spaghetti mess behind my computer desk last month. Unplugged everything, labeled each cord with tape, and thought I'd be done in an afternoon. Three weekends later I finally had it looking decent because I kept finding old chargers for gadgets I don't even own anymore. My biggest mistake was trying to use those zip ties too tight at first, had to cut them all off and start over with velcro straps. Also realized my power strip was buried under the desk in the worst spot possible. Now my cat keeps trying to crawl behind the desk to nap in the empty space - anyone else's pet treat cable management as a new hiding spot?

Those velcro straps are a lifesaver, I learned that lesson the hard way too. Another thing that helped me was getting a cheap adhesive cable tray to stick under the desk, keeps everything up and out of the cat's reach.

@jennifer_mitchell53 totally right about the adhesive tray, I got one after my velcro job and it hid all the extra slack perfectly.
