Step 1

Collect and untangle all of your charging cords, earbuds, power adapters, and the like. Lay them all out so you can see exactly what you have.

Step 2

Get rid of anything that is no longer necessary!

I had earbuds and power cords from every phone and tablet we have ever owned. Plus, about a million (give or take) “giveaway” earbuds. Oh, and, all those charging adapters because tech companies can’t seem to have mercy on us and make everything universal.

Step 3
