I finally tackled the cord octopus! After buying 2 power strips at IKEA, I cut another hole in the back of my TV bench and moved all of my electronic stuff all into the same area. And all the cords are behind the bench. My top accomplishment of the week! :)
BEFORE:
Wireless router, cable modem, cable [...]

It’s good to know that Week 5 is the typical week to fall off the “Apartment Therapy Cure” wagon. Maxwell (Apartment Therapy author) posted that we should focus on what we’ve accomplished so far in the cure to try and motivate ourselves (and each other). So here’s what I have –and haven’t– done.
