I guess it kind of depends on what sort of notions we are talking about. I have a plethora of little notion type things. Like snaps and hook and eyes and that sort of thing. It was always a pain to find what I needed and no matter how organized I thought my drawer was, it always ended up looking like a junk drawer.
This will probably sound kind of silly, but I had one of those lazy susan type spice thingies that you can buy at Costco or wherever. I had used up the spices I normally used and had a bunch of jars full of stuff I had no idea what even was. It holds 20 jars. So I dumped all the jars and soaked them to get rid of the labels that were printed on. Then I sorted all my little things and each got there own little jar. It sits on a shelf and I can turn it to find the snap or whatever little thing I need.

Me to. Why is that?
I use one of those wire baskets for picnic supplies,silverware,napkin,plate holder, to keep my scissors,pens, whatever with me at cutting table. Otherwise they are all over and in my way.

I saw some really nice storage boxes with a plastic "label" on the one end. You use a dry erase marker on it. I might need to stock up! Walmart...of course.

I have one of those stacked plastic drawers that are in different colors (Costco usually gets them in during January). I sort all the little things into drawers organizing things by color. I also have one of those pink totes that came out a couple of years ago -- I carry that between machines with things like seam rippers, small rotary cutters that I use as seam rippers, scissors, etc. The only place I have duplicates of all my small tools is in the kit I take to quilt classes. If I don't put things back I know I won't be able to find them.
