Wires are messy. But you aren't.

One of life's greatest pleasures is finding joy in the simple things, like getting (and staying) organized. And of the many things that are in desperate need of organization, we have a feeling tangled cords and cables are a good place to start. There are bunches of them at the bottom of your bag or stuffed behind the TV. It's time to get them in order.

Ahead, here are 11 of the best cable organizers for both that instant satisfaction, and for the relief that comes with seeing your stuff all neat and tidy every time you look at it.
