A lot of times, being organized and tidy is more about feeling good than it is about saving time.

If every time I open that drawer I'm a little frustrated, a little flustered, a little stressed, that's not just 5 seconds of "lost time" its a little bit of damage to my mood.

On the other hand, if every time I open the drawer it's all neat and organized and I can find the thing I'm looking for right away and I'm reminded of the good job I did building the organizers, that's a nice little micro-boost to my mood.

And maybe the time and effort spent figuring this out and building it and blogging about it was fun! Like a fun little hobby.

Everybody has a different temperament and different priorities, etc. Someone may look at this and think "what a waste of time". Personally, I kind of like projects like this that add a little extra satisfaction or polish to something I interact with freqently.
