One of the things I know most of us here share in common is that we have cables, connectors, chargers, adapters, etc. Because of the number of these things, one of my problems is how to organize them efficiently and effectively. Of course I would like to do that without having to spend so much. Please give me some advice. I really need some. Thanks!

What you need to do is get some zip ties or twist ties from trash bags and use those to bind each cord, so that they don't get tangled up. If they are in use at the time, you can still do it and it makes everything look neater. If not put them in drawers. When you need to use it, only unwind the length you need.

What I do is I provide one drawer for all that stuff. It is not hard for me to find them because their all in. I hope it gives you an idea.

Try attaching them together with color-coaded twist ties, and tag them with what they are in writing, just to make sure.
For example, attach the modem-related cords (power cord, and modem cable) together and then attach the computer coards together in a bundle, labeling what each cord is. That way they won't get tangled up.

One of the things that I do in our house to keep all of the cords that we have plugged into a single surge strip is to use the cardboard center of a wrapping paper roll to run all of the cords through so that there are not cords all over the place. This is a simple fix to keeping the cords from being everywhere, but it is also something that is really inexpensive to be able to do.
In addition to that, we keep a drawer in the kitchen that we keep cords and batteries and our charger in so that we always know where those things are.

I'll just share my techniques.. :D
First those unused or unnecessary cables and extensions should be well kept in drawers. If regularly used, i do roll them with the house's stuff toys and vases and even other things beside that can hold those wires in its finest way :D And to hide some of them i'll just put them together and tape them under my table :D

Try to buy a cable ties, you can find some cheap cable wire on hardware and put them in shoe box or if you have available drawer. :)))
