Keeping track of renovation plans without losing your mind

Totally feel you on the endless “just in case” stash - been there, tripped over that. I’ve started labeling bins by project (kitchen, bath, etc.) so at least I know where to start looking. Also, those “maybe” jars can get out of hand quick... I try not to let mine multiply. For manuals, Google Drive’s been a lifesaver - snap a pic, upload, done. Less paper, less panic when something breaks down.

I’ve tried the Google Drive/manuals trick too, but sometimes I forget to actually upload them in the first place... then I’m back to digging through drawers. Labeling bins by project is smart, though - do you ever end up with random bits that don’t fit any project? I swear, I always have a pile of “misc” stuff that never finds a home. How do you decide what’s worth keeping versus what’s just cluttering up your workspace?
