I got really tired of looking at all of my electronic gear cluttered on my entryway table. Not only did it look like s—t, but I was constantly forgetting to plug stuff in at night so it would be recharged in the morning. It was definitely time to embrace a change.

So, I converted my bedside table into a covert recharging post. The process was relatively easy, once I convinced myself that it was alright to drill holes in the back of the nightstand. Come to terms with this and then it is a breeze, and will probably make you feel pretty clever too.

The way to go about it is to drill a couple of holes to thread the cords through, and then place a couple wire clips around the cords to make them more manageable as they exit the drawer. Then just plug them into a multi-plug power adapter, and there you have it. To ensure that you do not leave in the morning without any of these essentials, keep your car keys in the drawer too.
