I have a problem. It is a problem I try to hide out of sight and out of mind, one I try to pretend doesn't exist. But it does, and every so often it raises its ugly head to bite me. Most recently, I needed to replace an Ethernet switch as I needed more ports. As I unplugged the old switch, my monitor turned off. Why? Because under my desk I have a cable catastrophe. The mere act of unplugging the old switch had so disturbed and enraged the rat's nest of cables under my desk that in retaliation it decided to turn off my monitor.
So intertwined and confused is the mess beneath my desk that even the most mundane of acts—plugging in a new gadget, removing an old one, sometimes just even moving my feet—threatens to destroy everything.
TFA addresses the perennial problem of cable jungles. I use zip ties. What are the best solutions Soylentils have come up with, and what are their pros and cons?

The natural simple solution: stop working on/at the desk 1 . Working in bed is so much better... seriously, this is why laptops were invented.

As any sleep expert will tell you, it's best to limit the things you do in bed to sleep and sex. And beyond that the general advice I've heard concerning sleep is to get up and do something else if you're not able to fall asleep within 15 minutes or so.
The issue with working in bed is that it confuses your reason for being there to other things besides rest, and can lead to issues of difficulty sleeping, because it becomes "a place to think" rather than a place to rest.

I have a hunch it may work for sex as well
