“Wire drawer” is a real thing in most homes – full of mystery cables, dead chargers, old phone leads and random adapters. The problem is, when you actually need a working cable, you waste time digging through junk, testing which ones still work.
If you spend a short time every few months sorting: keep only what fits current devices, throw or recycle clearly broken or outdated stuff, label a few important ones – you turn that drawer into a useful tool kit, not a frustration box.
It also reduces fire risk slightly, because you’re not keeping damaged, exposed wires tangled with other items. And it frees mental space: less “I really should sort this someday…” guilt every time the drawer is opened.
