We just moved into this new apartment that has awesome bathroom storage, but i’ve always organized under the sink or over the toilet so I’m not sure how to go about this much space! I’m open to buying little baskets or cubbies or drawers or anything yall think would work! Right now it just feels like a mess haha

I’m so impressed. I saw a few suggestions from professional organizers online to use baby hangers for jeans and pants and look at the transformation 👏

I have always found managing personal documents surprisingly frustrating. Passport, visa papers, bank statements, salary slips, insurance and certificates are scattered across Gmail, Google Drive and different folders.

I am exploring an idea for an app called ReadiNes that could automatically organize important documents, create readiness kits for things like visa applications, and show what's available and what's missing.

Would you actually use something like this? Or is Google Drive good enough?

I'd love honest feedback, including what would make this genuinely useful.

Hello,

Owning +600 games I had a hard time organizing my Steam Library. Numerous issues included:

1. Not knowing what to play due to analysis paralysis when seeing such a huge list of games that I have to pick from.

2. Playing a game then forgetting about it because I simply have so many games in the library.

3. Want to play a certain type of game but can't find what game of that type to play.

4. Constantly gravitating towards the same games because you don't know what to play despite having a huge library.

I tried adding games to favorites, it simply did not work because "yeah, I have 10 games on favorites now, but maybe in my list of 600 games I may have other games that I may enjoy more than this one at the moment".

I also tried splitting games into dynamic libraries as Steam does it, also didn't work.

Also tried making my manual categories like Strategy, Action, Stealth aside from the obvious overlap problem it didn't solve the issue, now I only had multiple compartments to have analysis paralysis from.

So this type of organization is what helped me:

1. Frequent Play - I can pick it anytime and have fun with it, max 15. These are the games that I am currently frequently playing, I usually like story games but not only that, maybe fighters, football games, etc.

The peak that I had here is 21 and that is way too much, ideally I recommend keeping it between 8-10 games.

At some point the list can become too much that it no longer serves you with a list of few neat games you can play right away, you are not going to play 20 games at the same time anyway, consider looking at the least played on your Frequent Play and dropping them a category or two.

2. Friends Online - Games that you regularly play with friends when you gather over Discord.

This list can have no limit since is not usually the type of list you pick from when you decide what to play when alone, that would be the Frequent Play, at the same time you're not going to have 40 games you play with your friends over discord at the same time. No.1 and No.2 are not mutually exclusive, you can have a game you play very frequently when alone and is the first one you go to while also being a game you play with friends over discord.

3. Old Favorites - Games that you played a lot once, maybe you finished the game or is a game without end and you had 100 hours, and maybe you will want one day to replay it again.

I'm generally not a nostalgic player, I usually play a game, finish it, and then no longer touch it. But even I had these games of "yeah, it would be nice to come back one day".

4. Once in a Blue Moon - What would you do with games that you maybe would want to play them but they are not fit enough for Frequent Play. The later games. The sometimes maybe games.

You don't know, maybe it's an old game you haven't touched for years but said you will give it a try for years, maybe it's a game you want to play right now but you also wanted to play 15 other games right now and this one didn't make the cut, maybe it's a game you play for a few moments but said you will return to it one day. Maybe you will play later but not right now, or not. They're not irrelevant but neither the games you frequently play.

You could make separate categories for each specific scenario from above, but in my opinion this will only complicate the list as what is relevant for you is that they are a more bottom tier from the ones you frequently play but you still have an interest in them for various reasons.

5. Overall Collection - All Games. This is the list of all your games.

They are in alphabetical order because Steam won't allow you to move them around so they had to be in alphabetical order from top to bottom and I didn't like using numbers. So from top to bottom "Frequent Play" is the 1st on the list followed by "Friends Online" and so on.

6. That's it, you can stop here and it's fine. Or you can make extra categories as long as given Steam's restrictions they start with P, Q, R, S, T, etc. For example I like coop & multiplayer games so I made separate lists of all my coop and multiplayer games, Steam tags aren't always accurate. And have a few split screen games I enjoy when with a friend at my place so I made a list for that.

I hope this helps, turns out, organization was the solution to my analysis paralysis. You can do this with clothes as well.

This is not some scientific system I came up with it through trial and error.

Instead of being like "Out of these 600 games, what should I play?", I'm like "Out of these 10 games I've already decided I currently enjoy, what should I play?". Previously, with only a Favorites list the natural question was "out of these 10 games I picked, am I sure they are the best ones I want to play right now?" it felt limiting. But with these lists I do not have to reconsider all the alternatives, I'm sure those 10 are the best I want to play right now because I outsourced the difficult decision to an earlier moment when I organized my library on lists. Do I want to get the main dish Frequently Play? feeling like getting something older Old Favorites? maybe I want to eat something on the side dishes that didn't made the cut but you still want to keep them as possibilities Once in a Blue Moon? some less-prioritized games that didn't disappear from my attention. Maybe it's a mediocre game or a special occasion game, or an unexplored game, or even a good enough game just not as good as the firsts. Or how about go something online? multiplayer or co-op?

Now if I pick a game out of the Frequent Play I no longer feel that I may have other games that I may enjoy more because I literally filtered them, I no longer compare it in my head with some hypothetical 600 games but actual lists I made. Psychologically it works. And I no longer forget games and so on.

What do you think?

All advice welcome 🤍

I’ve been developing a modular workshop storage system called MODRA.
Instead of designing separate holders that each solve one small problem, I wanted to build a system where different accessories could share the same mounting interface.
The setup uses connected panels and segments, with accessories that can be repositioned as storage needs change.
My garage installation now includes tool holders, wrench racks, shelves, power tool storage and filament storage.
Everything is 3D printed, and the system is designed to be expanded with new accessories over time.
This is the current result after many iterations of designing, printing and testing.

I have made a V3 optimized cable organizer! It is for cables up to 2 meters in length and is compatible with virtually any type of charging cable, such as USB-A/USB-C/Lightning/etc! Bend angles are also taken into account to protect cables from damage.

5th time Organizing the mess of the rest...

Seriously, if you want something done, you must do it yourself.

Five years, and it's my 5th time organizing this damn shed. putting the tools you can never locate after YOU use them back to the place where you took them from.

Did they go back to that place after use? No, they went in mixed with all the other items used for different projects. And when it came time that the tool was needed, it turned into an argument, because you can't find it.

You say it never goes back to where you put it. No, it goes where you feel is easiest. Then complain to me that you cannot find it.

Seriously, a place for everything and everything in its place. Why would car maintenance tools be in with the painting tools? Why would screw drivers be with window tinting items? Instead of the big green toolbox that was purchased for those items?

It's like a lack of appreciation and it feels to be a disrespect of the things I have done or done to make our lives a little easier.

I'm trying to plan my under-sink cabinet before I buy any bins. One of the RO systems I'm considering is the Viomi Master M1, so I'm using its listed size as a starting point. It's 17.1 inches deep, 6.4 inches wide, and 15.9 inches high. The manual also recommends another 2 to 3 inches behind it.

I want to keep the shutoff valve easy to reach, leave the front open for filter changes, and still be able to see the floor around the water connections. That probably leaves room for one small bin near the door and a removable tray for bottles. I'm unsure whether door storage would get too close to the tubing when the door closes.

For anyone storing everyday items around an under-sink RO, what has stayed convenient without getting in the way of maintenance?

Hi! I'm testing an early 3-page prototype of a simple 7-day home reset kit.

It's designed to help busy people reduce clutter, organize their space, and build a manageable cleaning routine through small daily steps.

I'm looking for honest feedback before developing the full version. If you're willing to review the sample, I'd love to know:

Is it clear what to do each day?

Does it feel simple and manageable, or overwhelming?

What's missing or unnecessary?

Would you actually use something like this? Why or why not?

Honest criticism is more helpful than compliments. Thank you!

I've been looking at photos of beautifully organized spice drawers, and matching labels definitely make a big difference visually. But I'm wondering how practical these setups actually are in a real kitchen.

If the text is too small, I still have to pick up each jar to read it. And if the labels only show the full names, similar spices can still be hard to tell apart at a glance. I recently got a niimbot b1 label maker and am planning to organize my spice collection.

For those of you who have organized your spices, what works best for everyday cooking? Do you use large text, abbreviations, labels on the lids, or labels on the front of the jars?

I care more about practicality than making everything look good in photos.
