r/organized

Hey, so I recently started an Arduino project messing around with face tracking and some small displays. I’m about a quarter of the way through if I had to guess, but am going out of town to visit family on the 7th (Tuesday) and will be flying. I’ll be there for about 2 weeks and don’t really want to put the project on hold until then, so I figured I would look into taking it with me.

After doing some research, my plan is to check a bag and then try to organize all the parts as best as I can, taking out any batteries, and then attach a little note explaining kind of what I’m doing, and I should be good.

I figured finding a thing to store and organize my parts would be as simple as looking through Amazon and then finding one that matches the sizes and number of parts I have; however, that has not been the case. Everything I have found has either not been big enough, big enough for the bigger parts but at the cost of taking out like 3 of the total spaces and not having enough for the rest, or just won’t be here before I leave.

Worst case scenario, I can just run to a sporting goods store near me and probably pick up a tackle box that will work alright, but I figured I’d ask some people who are a lot better and have been around this longer than me.

The ideal solution would have:

1. Enough storage for all the parts to fit neatly in their own compartments, the biggest being the 830 point breadboard which is about 6.5 x 2.12 x 0.35 inches.

2. Have a few extra compartments of varying sizes for parts that I may order while away.

3. Double as a good organization tool for this project and future projects.

4. Not take up too much space in a suitcase.

5. Arrive or available to buy in store before or on the 6th.

6. Have a transparent lid so all parts can be seen without having to open everything

I’ve attached pictures to the top and have the links to the parts under this. Any specific recommendations and/or links would be much appreciated.

I feel like being organized, keeping things tidy and not over buying has to do with Boundaries and a lack of Boundaries. What boundaries do you have in place to keep a clean organized home so rooms don’t get overwhelmingly cluttered?

Me25f and my partner 35m of two years moved into this one bedroom, one bath little house in a college town. We moved from his apartment so it was pretty much mostly his furniture, which didn’t include a whole lot but enough to consume a whole lot of space in our little house, I want to be able to make it feel more like home and not just Big random plastic containers and piles of clothes on the floor, but it seems like whenever I get some kind of organization tactic down. He just pulls everything back out and leaves it there which I understand to a degree, but I don’t understand why he just leaves it there after watching me clean it diligently anyways I’m so burnt out on how to change the space up and make it feel more welcoming rather than thrown together. Somebody please help me. I don’t know where to start.

This is standard double axel semi trailer that was an absolute disaster of an electrical trailer. This took me about 2 weeks from start to finish to remove everything, sort, clean, organize and built some racks to help. Everything is labeled, organized and cleaned. This doesn’t seem like a massive project but anyone that has worked in the trades understands this.
