Groovy charging station + other decluttering tips

Hi all,
I've just stumbled over these instructions to make a very simple charging station, which is handy considering the amount of appliances my DD is starting to rack up.

The site is a blog based on decluttering called 'Unclutterer' and it seems to be full of ideas to help people get more organised, with people posting their own comments and tips. I don't know if anyone here already reads it, but I think it looks quite useful.

I agree - it is far more posh.I'm afraid my DIY skills would only extend to the foam one though.

Just a little trick for organising all the various chargers associated with a household's worth of gadgets, mobiles, DSs etc etc.

I've spent a couple of hours on the site - I've found quite a lot of useful info on there, a bit like OLd Style USA Style IYSWIM

It's out of print now, but if you can get hold of a second hand copy of Don Aslett's Freedom From Clutter then do so. Lots of good advice, simple and humourous. The most valuable advice for me was, when sorting through paperwork, that there are only four destinations for any piece of paper:

1. act on it
2. pass it to someone else
3. file it
4. bin it

When my office gets snowed under, I start making four piles...
