My desk has so many projects going, I need to Declutter. I need to do something soon.

I found this website that has a great solution to the clutter of wires, multiple monitors, papers, peripherals, cables, transformers, memory card readers, routers, additional hard drives, modems and on and on. Check it out.

Hi Mike

I actually have done something very similar in our trailer under the back shelf. All wires etc are held up under the shelf. Not quite as neat and precise as the photos you have - but it works for us. No cords hanging down and it looks neat. Power is available for everything with just one extension cord to plug in.

I work from home and it's not the wires, monitors, keyboards, routers, etc. that are my problem...it's all the darn papers!

I'm usually working on several things at once and I have books open, notes on pieces of paper, stickies, more books open, more notes, the mail, you name it. Good thing I don't smoke or the whole place would go up like a tinderbox.

Hi Mike

You asked for photos. You would have laughed if you had seen me down underneath my shelf, in the trailer, looking up taking these - - but this is the best I could do.

Here is my trailer shelf and then 5 photos of the tied up wires.

Here's the other 3 photos of wiring underneath our shelf. All wires are hidden in the black plastic spiral wrap .... behind the DVD player and the drawer...

what you saw is only the corner of my office, I'm embarrassed to say the rest of the room is like that. and my shop , and my work shed. However looking at my posted picture must have tweaked something, an hour's work later, this is the result. More clean-up will be done this weekend.
