Don’t have a fancy charging station for your phone at your desk at work or home office?

No worries.

Here’s A nifty trick for making your smartphone charging cord disappear behind a desk. 

The steps below will let you rig a padlock and a cord clip to make your charging cable disappear automatically.

Step 1:

First thing you’ll need to do is measure a length of cable from the edge of your desk to the spot where you normally charge your phone, then add a couple of inches, just in case.

Step 2.

Tie a loose knot near the point that you measure to. Loop the end of the cable through the knot one more time to form a double overhand knot. Then attach a lightweight lock to the loop.

Step 3

Stick on a Command Adhesive Small Cord Clip to your desk’s edge. Be sure to attach the clip with the clip-side down. Open the clip, thread your cable through, close clip.

Step 4

And your done!
