I can think of one way - retractable cables
-this would work for USB cables and headphones, but not for power cables for my laptop?
-any recommendations for strong durable retractable cables? (especially for an apple laptop)
I can only offer my solution to ear buds and that's to wind them around four fingers and put them in a used medicine vial. They never get knotted or hard-to-use that way.

For other cables to keep them organized I use hook/loop fasteners that I got at Rat Shack.
