    I thought I didn't have anything to contribute to this thread, then
    I realized my organization systems are so second nature that I don't
    notice them. 

    I think a good, solid bench is the starting point to being
    organized. After that I am partial to drawers.  I have a tower of
    skinny drawers, (IKEA) a tower of these plastic things that hold
    those plastic bead organizing things.  (Home store, hardware dept.) 

    And I have a tower of drawers (seeing a theme here?) for paper work
    and office supplies.  These are narrow drawers -- the kind you could
    find at Target or Container Store. 

    My next step will be to put shelves on the walls so I can get more
    stuff off the top of my bench. 

    Another thing that has really helped is getting rid of the excess,
    like many of us, I'm a major tool hound, and moving things out of my
    small workshop that I'm not actually using right now, has really
    helped.
