Yes, there's science behind the trick that will make your life much easier. With a few simple steps, you'll see how easy it is to organize your cables so they don't get tangled when you store them.
But before we explain how to solve this classic problem, we wonder...
According to a study from the University of California, cables become entangled due to the movement of our bodies as we walk. As we walk, the inner sections of cables become tangled, whether they are loose in a pocket or a backpack compartment.
The most effective way to prevent cables from getting tangled is to organize them in the familiar figure-8 pattern. Simply place your fingers as shown in this video and begin forming a figure-8 with the cables to organize them. This way, you'll keep them intact in any compartment.
Finally, you just need to add the finishing touch by inserting the jack connector inside the figure-8. Voilà! Your cables are now neatly organized.
