Reading this title before looking at the sub was quite a ride.
I use this Plano Rack System tackle box
I reuse the small Amazon shipping boxes. Each box has a number and a general category. My phone has a database. When I put something away, I take a picture of the item, add it to the database, put it in a box, and record the box number.
I use the Ikea Skadis pegboard system and accessories.
Good idea! I was considering pegboards and was looking at Temu
Organized is a really big word to describe what essentially amounts to hiding shit out of my eyesight in some sort of organization I’ll forget the sense of in a matter of days, until I need it again and have to open all the bins to find everything again anyway. But like some other people here, I use hardware organizers for the small stuff like tools and brushes, and larger bins for things like my soldering gear, helping hands, etc.
My computer stuff is a mess but I use an organizer like this in the garage for my nails, screws, bolts, etc…. https://www.lowes.com/pd/CRAFTSMAN-Bin-System-39-Compartment-Plastic-Small-Parts-Organizer/1000578341
