You'll get a ton of different ideas and then incorporate what works for you.
I keep my wof strips in one tote all weird sizes
2.5" WOF strips go into a separate pile
odd size strips go into yet another pile, I periodically will sort this into similiar sizes like all the 3", 4" 5" , 6", 12" etc.
Squares-I only keep 5" and 6.5" squares, the rest I add to the strip piles in the appropriate piles.
It sounds like I'm very organized but I'm not, usually my piles tend to land on top of each other, then into a giant tub where I ignore the.
Right now, I'm trying to get a bunch of my scraps used up. I started sewing all my strips together on the long side, then I trim them up, and then add a solid color along the top and bottom...sort of like this:

but random width of strips.
I trim to a size that will eventually make a square once I add the strips...like if I only have 4" long strips then I'll make a 6.5" block, if I have 8" long strips I'll make a 12" block. Or I'll get discourged and cut all of the down to the same size and make one size block...
Once I have enough of one size blocks I'll put them together somehow.
sometimes I just use the mile a minute technique to make crumb blocks
