Sorted piles reminds me of my uncle's garage with everything in labeled bins. He once wasted ten minutes looking for a screwdriver that was in the wrong box. My dad's messy heap in the corner had the same tool right on top. Now my uncle just tosses everything into a single crate and calls it a system. I guess too much order can slow you down more than a little mess.

What if how you store it matters more than the brand? I've had cheap stuff last forever just because it stayed dry.

Using a separate line like Google Voice really helped with the bot calls. I set it up to only accept calls during open hours, which cut down on noise. The good calls still came through, so it was worth the setup.
