Three hacks I'm using now

    Binder clips
    They can be used for many things. Prop iPads up with them, organize cables, hang cables, wall hangers, fix keyboard hinges, and keep food bags airtight.

    Strengthen Apple cables.
    Use the spring you find in clicky pens to hug the end of the cables - then coat that in duck-tape / electrical tape. You don't have to do this at a later stage - you can do it straight away after buying them, because Apple cables (lightning cables and such) have 'planned obsolescence' (they are purposely not built to last, because they want you to buy more and replace them - yeah, I know; shame)

    Glow in the dark pain on light switches and cables
    Paint light switches in glo-paint, so it's easy to find them at night. Most of the time, we can find them because of muscle memory, and pure habit - but a little glo-paint goes a long way.
