It's small and very useful. Perfect, not occupying too much space and enough for the all family to use. It's quite fast at charging our iPhones. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

I used to have charging cords all over the place, then I found this product. A space saver, keeps my devices all in one place while charging, and has nice plastic inserts, or compartments, for each device. I recommend this product.

Overall good product. The product's own power cord doesn't fit securely and jiggles loose so you need to check that it's truly charging every time you plug in a device. Otherwise seems to do the job. We like the short charging cords that come with it, keeps it neater and no cord tangles.

Desktop & Charging Organization

At the same time as the LR file organization tutorial, I was physically bringing some order to my physical desktop. Once the home to an iMac and dual monitor, Wacom tablet and a host of other stuff. I must confess, my entire desk area had become a catch all.

But all that has changed. The iMac, Wacom table and second monitor found new homes in the office/studio. Where, they should be, right? Well by 10 year old desk, a gift from my dad (well the $ came from my dad. That's another story, sits in front of the dual living room windows and looks out over my tiny porch and courtyard. My original intent was to watch the birds which frequent my feeders and keeping watch on my plants to see if, my some miraculous chance, my thumb has turned green. Well, the grass, and plants, at the time of this writing are green. The jury's still out on the thumb.

Once the desk was cleared, I set this area apart for writing, processing thoughts, recording victories and well"¦sipping coffee. I use to keep the blinds closed because I didn't want passerbys to see my computer equipment through the window. I now keep them open till evening. I love this writing nook that I've created.

The desktop is cleared, yet, one area of frustration remains, "Where can I organize all of my devices for charging?" Just not enough outlets and those which have an available plug are behind something"¦like a couch, tv stand"¦you know stuff that has to be moved to access them.

But I was determined. This morning, I received a big portion of that solution. It's a multiport charging station which actually stores the devices as well. I opened it with glee and set it up immediately. Here's a pic:

On the far right, you'll see how organized my device charging is with this setup. It has little plastic dividers which can be arranged in a variety of widths, i.e. I can leave my phone in it's leather case. In the very back, is my iPad Pro 9.7 with accompanying Brydge keyboard attached and in the center, my iPad mini. In the back of the unit is a power supply which needs only one available plug. Underneath my desk is a surge protector with 8 outlets. I have my Macbook Pro's charger ready in one of them, my desk light, printer and now, the charging station. The remaining open spaces are for charging my camera batteries. In a wooden wine box, I keep all charging paranaphelia. Just so I know where to look when I'm ready to travel.

You'll also notice the Qwerkywriter S (thanks Kim for showing this lovely. I'm not kidding, and I get no kickbacks from anyone, but that old time typewriter sound really does inspire me to write.) I've written every day since it arrived. What a joy. It actually inspired me to reorganize my desk as well. It now sits on the roll out desk's keyboard drawer. I really wanted it sitting on my desk but that makes it too high for me to type. Being in the drawer offers a bit of protection from the dust as well. At any rate, I'm really happy with my Writing Nook redo.

I bought the device from Amazon. Here's the screenshot, in case you'd like one of these gizmos yourself. Certainly worth every 2,999 pennies. It comes with 3 IOS cables and 2 mini usb, all are about 6 inches long so no long tangled cords. Frustration free I'd say. Oh, and there's a switch on this gizmo for turning it off/on. How sweet and thoughtful of the developers.

That's an accounting of my organizational challenge as of today, Monday, Aug 3rd, 2020. What a milestone. Think I'll celebrate with another cup of coffee.

Oh, in case I haven't told you already, I love the sound of this keyboard.

This was what I needed I have 6 kids, and we have 3 tablets and I have my AirPods and my phone that I need the charge at times. We were all "fighting" to use the one charger we had downstairs to charge all these devices. Now they can all be charged at the same time. Such a game changer!
