In today's modern world, there's no doubt about it: so many of our much-loved devices come with wired, always-tangled cords. When it seems like they're overflowing in every which way, it can be a mission to really try and figure out how to keep them tidy. Maybe you've tried to shove them behind the sofa or tie them up to make the area less cluttered. It turns out, there might be an even greater way to keep it all in order and tame your tech with a cord hack that keeps wires tidy. In a YouTube video from the Matt and Liz Family Vlog, the perfect hack to clean up your cords lies in a product that you'd normally use in the bathroom and can easily find at your local Dollar Tree: shower curtain rings.

Sound far-fetched? It's surprisingly more functional than you might think. The video shows a set of shower curtain rings, which are normally used to attach curtains to the shower rod for efficient sliding. To use this for cord organization, the video encourages the viewer to simply loop the cords around the ring. Then, attach it to any side of your desk. You can do this somewhere underneath, or at the bottom of one of the desk legs. 

Using a shower curtain ring isn't only a reliable option, but also simple and really low-effort. When thinking of other ways to fix up your cord clutter, the easy clip theme continues if you consider getting something like binder or floral clips. Similar to the shower curtain rings, you can attach them to a part of your desk or elsewhere and loop your cables through them. It works in the same way to keep your cords clutter-free.

However, if you really want to think outside the box, clothespins can secure cords in a similar way if you clip them onto your wires. Looking for an easy organization solution while traveling? Eyeglass cases work well not only to organize cords, but to keep them hidden too, especially if you need to keep them all in one place. 

When it comes to the home, whether you're trying to hide your desk's tangled cord clutter or just want your home charging station to look stylish enough to double as decor, some shower rings might be all you need.
