Desktop Valets/Organizers, Yea or Nay?
after forgetting my badge and having to return home [2 rush hours for 1] I was forced to create this model and 3D print it.
I've probably never used a desktop organizer consistently before, but I'm currently designing one that is tailored specifically for my needs as part of a design class at college so I'm curious to see if this changes anything. I would love to share it when the prototype gets finished!
I throw my wallet and keys on a tray in my living room, which also collects pens, coins, tools, and other garbage until it's overflowing and I move it all into another pile of garbage underneath in a cabinet, where it's forgotten about for the rest of eternity.
I usually just use a bowl. Then I nested this found object— a fire truck dome light—and I have an instant favorite.

Funny. Can't find my wallet since yesterday. I carry keys which are as minimal as possible, just a ring made out of the outside of a Mexican, 5 keys and USB stick. My phone, my wallet which is a money clip which can only fit like 7 cards and a few bills. Lately I've been carrying a CRKT PAZODA knife because I find it's super useful. I have a small 6" square metal tray on my dresser where I put everything, most of the time. I also keep an extra knife in there, 2 multi-tools, headphones, and unfortunately, too much other random stuff. Yesterday morning I didn't put my wallet there and now can't find it. The organizers just seem over the top to me, I'm not that neat.
"outside of a Mexican coin.."
haha. Thanks for clarifying Juan. I thought we might have a serial killer in the message-boards; turning his victims into EDC.
