Stay-at-home orders have led to a boom in decluttering, closet organizing, and generally improving the home.
We tend to get used to things being a little out of whack in our homes. With that thought in mind, I wandered around with a critical eye, trying to see things as if for the first time.
I was struck by the disorder under desks. In the den, cables descended at odd angles towards a PC and a power strip on the floor. Apart from the poor aesthetics, under-desk clutter is prime habitat for dust bunnies, legs feel constricted, things get kicked, and cables come loose.
Although we use tablets, there are times we prefer personal computers. We have two PCs set up at two desks in our home which we use interchangeably. The computers date back to 2010, but still work fine because most of the load, these days, is in the cloud. The desks hail from the mid-1990’s when I worked out of a home office.
This past week I decided to tidy the wiring under each desk, primarily by getting the power strip and PC off the floor. We’re happy with the results.
