I finally tried those velcro cable ties and wish I did it sooner

My desk setup behind the TV was a disaster for like 2 years. Power cables, HDMI, ethernet all just tangled together. I spent 12 bucks on a pack of 50 velcro ties at a local hardware store in Portland. Took me maybe 20 minutes to wrap everything up and route it along the desk leg. Now I can actually reach the wall outlet without pulling out a mess. Has anyone else found a cheap fix like this that made a big difference?

You ever look at a rat's nest of cables and just feel that headache?

Used to be the type who just shoved everything behind my desk and called it a day. Thought cables were cables, who cares right? Then my roommate's console kept overheating because the power strip was buried under a mountain of old HDMI cords and phone chargers. Took me an hour just to find which cord went to the lamp. Changed my whole view after that.
