How to Get Your Gadgets in Order

Every teen likes to have the latest gadget and gizmo, but the cords and wires can become tangled and lost. It takes a little bit of time to organize your electronics, but its worth it.

[edit] Steps

  1. Figure out what you actually need. Do you really need that Walkman now that you have an iPod? Donate any unwanted items to charity.
  2. Group each gadget and its accessory in a separate area. For example, put your iPod, headphones, and charger together.
  3. Put all seldom-used wires e.g., your camera charger, extra USB cords, in plastic ziplock bags. Label them. Put these bags in a shoebox or other container.
  4. Wrap frequently-used cords around the item you use it with. You always use headphones with your Mp3 player, right? So those should always be together.
  5. Choose one electrical outlet you will use anytime you have something (cell phone, camera) to charge.
  6. Place a small basket near the outlet. Keep all of your loose gadgets here.
  7. Also place your shoebox full of wires close by. When its time to locate them, you know that they will be with their fellow electronics.


[edit] Tips

  • Decide if there's anything you need to help the electronics run better. Do you need a cord to connect your video camera to your computer, or new headphones for your iPod? Put those on your shopping list.
  • Try to keep everything in good working order. Whats the use of buying something expensive just to let the puppy chew on it?


[edit] Warnings

  • Don't put your electronics anywhere they could be damaged e.g., near water, low to the ground (hazard of being stepped on), or in direct sunlight.
