If I need a glue I know exactly where it is. All of my quilt basting and marking stuff is together in one drawer. That makes it easy to just grab exactly the thing you want instead of spending time hunting for stuff. If you have a label maker label the drawers or bins or whatever you use for things.

Being organized really isn't hard to do.
You are absolutely right. It's sometimes a lot of work to get there, but once you're there it's pretty liberating and so much easier to find things. Before I got organized I would spend hours looking for something specific or just go to the store and buy something else. Of course as soon as I got home I would find what I had been looking for. Guess it's not for everyone, but for me getting organized was a blessing.
