I've always kept a pack of them handy since I discovered these nifty fasteners years ago.  
  
It happened back in the days when people still went to retail shops for their IT stuff, which the then-teenager me would visit.  
  
(With heart full but pocket empty, I'll add)  
  
I chanced across them in a shop at Sim Lim Tower, and they've been my go-to solution for cable management ever since.

(Left) Press to release - and reuse. (Centre) Keep them together. (Right) Flexible uses.

  
**✅ Releasable cable ties**

The trick is to go for the releasable ones, which are slightly costlier, but which can be reused again and again.

- Easily bundle cords together.
- Keep spare cords neatly tied up.
- Use more than one for bigger bundles.

Strangely, they always 'disappear' over time despite being reusable. But that's a story for another day. Still, at just $10 for 100 pcs, I'll simply get another pack.  
  
So yes, I love my releasable cable ties.  
  
What about you? How do you keep your cords organised at home and at work?
