A good storage system is not the prettiest one; it is the one you still use in year three when the novelty has worn off. Most fail for the same reason: they are too granular. Five labeled compartments for items you reach for once a month is a museum, not a system.
Start with two categories: things you use weekly, and everything else. The weekly bin lives somewhere accessible — a bedside drawer, a closet shelf at hand height. Everything else can live further away, because you genuinely do not reach for it that often, and pretending you do is what makes drawers chaotic.
For the weekly bin, use a single shallow tray with a soft fabric liner. Not compartments. Compartments fight you when you are tired, and tired is when you are using this drawer. A flat surface with a liner is forgiving; you can place a charging device on it without thinking.
For long-term storage, the rule is “one device, one bag”. Drawstring pouches in a single labeled box. Do not stack devices loose — silicones from different manufacturers can interact at the surface and leave faint marks on each other over months of contact. The bag is not paranoia; it is chemistry.
