> Cable management boxes

For my desk, I got a really long (48 inches, 1.2 meters) power strip like you'd use on a workbench, and I screwed it to the back side of the desk near the top.

Cables hang down behind the desk so they stay off the floor and you don't see them.

It has 16 outlets, so there's one near whatever I want to plug in and I always have a free outlet.

you should look into a reverse osmosis unit which has multiple stages of filtering. I recommend Watts [1], easy to self-install under the kitchen sink. The company has been around for sometime and is even publicly traded.

> A LifeStraw Home water filter

I went a little bananas on filtered water a while back and bought a giant Berkey. I love it. My family goes through an entire container each day somehow. We use it for cooking as well as drinking, but it's still a lot of water. I highly recommend it if you ever decide you want an even more thorough, longer-lasting, high-capacity filter.

I feel like I've never been able to get a handle on cable management despite using velcro cable ties, and baseboard cable clips, and other stuff. I just have never found the right thing. So I'd love if you linked some of the ones you used (granted they're probably all random drop-shipping Amazon brands)!
