It will be wise to label these cables so as not to mix them up when using them. Anyone else could also use these cables and also damage the electronic gadgets. Entangled cables are annoying and will really look disorganized. They could also get damaged when disentangling them all the time. Store them by rolling them neatly, and hold them with a band or a small clip to keep them short.
- Offload appliances- Do not clog your appliances with more than they can carry. This is both in terms of weight and power usage. If you have a power extension cable, you do not have to add an extra plug to hold more plugs on it creating a possible overload. If you have a fridge that is loaded with food and stuff, take some out and leave at least 25% of the whole space empty to keep the weight optimal or this could damage your appliances exponentially.
