Have you ever come across some sort of container or organizer for anything that ended up being strangely useful? (lemmy.world)

I'm not a natural organizer, but I'm starting to appreciate things that help me organize as I get older.

Have any of you run into some sort of widget or gadget or box or even app that you almost brushed off, but then started using it and now it's the neatest thing ever?

I guess I'm looking for things you almost wrote off as boring-as-shit before you used it and were converted.

Before I had a car with a remote, I really liked Keyport organizers. They're a good way to stop keys from getting clanky and stabby in your pocket. And they have a snazzy flashlight and pocket knife. They're a fun fidget too.

Oh my gawd!! Looking into this now! Because of my job, I constantly need to carry far too many keys around, including my damn car key fob — meaning when I lean over, I sometimes end up pressing a button on my fob! These look like problem solvers!

They're awesome. I was kind of disappointed when our old car died and I updated to a vehicle with a fob.

I have never seen one of those before. Those look really cool!

Thank you!
