The wings on your MacBook’s power cord are there for a reason
Apple has included MagSafe power adapters with Mac notebooks for many years. However, many people are unaware that the MagSafe adaptor includes two “wings” on either side of the integrated cable. Your MagSafe power adapter’s “wings” or the two plastic hooks on the power supply are there for a reason. You should definitely give them a try.
Apparently, you may wrap the cable around them and secure it with the little clip that runs along the length of the cable if you flip them out. Therefore, if you have been tinkering with a tangled MagSafe cable while on the road, this may be a nice hack to keep in mind next time you encounter this common issue.
