Organizing thread! As I clean up my office, my latest project has been organizing stickers. Several got ruined because they were so disorganized. ☹️ I started with some drawer organizers I had, thinking they'd work...then I realized there was so much wasted space on the shelf!

I've been on a "drawer" kick, so I ordered another set of small drawers that I previously got to organize hardware/screws. Viola! So much better! I like to use dry erase markers first, then live with it for a bit before making permanent labels. Oversized stickers go on top.

Of course, my methodology (h/t @thehomeedit) was to take all my stickers out and then categorize them. I quickly discovered I have a "reserve" collection of special stickers I want to hold on to.

Yes, that DOES say Blake ATT&CK... (@stromcoffee). I have a LOT of these thanks to @_whatshisface! 🤣

I also added a "dump" container where I can just throw stickers after cons (someday...). The blue thing is a coupon organizer I got last year that I use to keep stickers organized when traveling.

As I was cleaning my office, I found I didn't want to get rid of business cards, because they often hold memories of good times with people. So, I made a box for the ones I wanted to hold on to. Those sit next to my stickers with my own biz cards.

Currently on the bottom of the bookshelf is a few binders of resources and some of my SANS books. Yes, you should be afraid of this combo. 😂 BTW, the bookshelf is one that my dad made with my brothers like 30 years ago! I try to reuse old things when I can.

I've found organizing is a hobby I really enjoy. It gets me moving around (off my phone) and gives me a fun challenge. I really enjoy trying to figure out the best way to organize! When I'm done, I have a system that makes me feel happy and calm. Any other organizers out there???
