Very carefully. I don't have a centralized location for everything but I've been wondering same so subbing lol
At moment charge watch in room, phone at bedside. In kitchen charge IPP and BeatsX or AirPods as well as charge Anker battery pack. In office I charge my rMBP. Quite the conundrum having everything spread out
Was thinking about more along the lines of cable ties. I have probably a dozen or so cables in my backpack and want to avoid pulling ALL the cables out when only wanting one.
Got some of these a bit back. Price was right; cheaper than a lot of the other Velcro ties on Amazon and obviously re-usable. They work good for very purpose you describe.

I've had access to Velcro ties in my line of work (telecommunications tech) for years, & use them everywhere at home/work.
We have the ones with the slot at one end which allow you to wrap & secure around the cable before sorting the rest of the cable into a bunch to tie up in a way that can be easily released - the main benefit over cable ties.
There are cheap quality ones around that split & detach from the adhesive strip, so watch out for them.

I've been using the ties from Nite Ize. You loop them onto your cable and they remain attached. I really like them.
