My
clients have some of the coolest organizational ideas!! Especially my tech clients, the guys who deal
with computers,wires and cables everyday.
I always enjoy learning about solutions other people create to make
their lives easier. This one is a simple
but smart gem!
Every
house seems to have an abundance of homeless and unclaimed power adapters. It's easy to hold onto all of them because
you are not sure what device belongs to which power adapter. The last thing you want is to throw a way a
power source to a machine you still use!
To avoid this problem it helps to label the adapters in some way. But why invest in labels that peel off, don't
work or cost money?
My
client took a fine tip permanent marker and simply wrote on the body of every
adapter. Brilliant! He listed the device it powered and the
voltage. I was shocked to see that the
red or black permanent marker would show up on black adapters as well.
Once
you write on the adapters either store them with the device they belong to or
put them all into a small container with the rest of your household utility
items, labeing the bin “power adapters”.
Problem solved!
