Organising random screws, bolts & nuts drives me crazy. I make things worse for myself because whenever I dismantle anything I normally salvage the metal pieces out of it.

It gets worse when I start trying to organize them by material and head shape as well.

Do I keep the identical ones together? Sure there are only 5 of them, but does that need it's own bin or baggie? I go back and forth, sometimes I'll organize them separately and then a month or two later I'll think that's crazy and combine them. Then I'll look for a few identical screws and decide I should separate them again. The most minor differences in screws in the same project will annoy me so much.

It's a futile project and it drives me insane.
