Have you ever seen someone who pulls a bunch of electronic devices from a briefcase or purse, snarled up with headphones?

I have a confession to make. I am one of those people.

It doesn’t matter how many little pockets you give me for devices inside of briefcases and purses. Somehow, they all end up in a tangled mass together: cell phone, iPod, USB drive and headphones.

Even if I do manage to get everything in a pocket, the headphones creep out and get everything else in a strangle hold. (Makes me wonder if the headphones have a grudge against the rest of the devices?)

A friend of mine, who can always find everything in her purse without ~~dumping it out~~ effort, introduced me to the Grid It organizer.

The GRID-IT Organizer is a stiff board covered with elastic bands woven at uneven intervals. (The link will show you the gray one, which shows the configuration of the bands clearly). You can tuck your various devices in this thing and they stay put.

Even the headphones.
