No matter how organized your workspace is, chances are you still wind up with tangled cords dangling off your desk. Sure, there are a lot of ways to keep your cables separate, from strategically placed binder clips to stretchy socks, but none are as fun as using a LEGO minifigure.

Turns out, the tiny cupped hands of those mini LEGO people are sized perfectly for holding thin cables like the one for your Android or iPhone charger, headphones, and even your MacBook power cord.

They're also great for holding other small electronics equipment cables and even stereo jacks. You just have to find out the best placement for the LEGO figures on your desk or wall, then Sugru them into place.
