2018 Home Decorating Resolution: Hide Tech

DID YOU KNOW?

YouTube has millions of videos ready to show you how to use pretty much every piece of tech you have.

Do you really need user manuals?

Tech/Electrical Stuff: RECYCLE

Best Buy take back your tech stuff whether you bought them through them or not: Home appliances, computers, stereo systems, TVs, cameras, mobile phones, toners, cartridges, games...

Cameras, Video Gear: TRADE-IN

Amazon has a trade-in program:

Search for your item, the buyback price should be right on the product page.

NOW HIDE TECH in 3 STEPS

1: GRAB ANYTHING "TECH"

Ask: Do we REALLY need it?

If it’s a cord or charger, do you still have what it plugs into?

If it’s a piece of tech, does it still work? do you use it?

If it’s a user manual, do you still own the item?

2: Create 2 piles

STORE RECYCLE

And because tech clutter is unattractive, hide the items you keep by storing them in drawers, boxes or bins. Create Charging Stations to limit the number of visible wires and adapters.

3: LABEL WHAT YOU KEEP

Once you’ve identified each wire and charger:​​

- label them

- group them in a ziploc bag and label the bag.

No Zip-loc bags?

Slide the cables in LABELED Toilet Paper centers, at least temporarily!

CONGRATULATIONS!
