I just visited the Edison's Menlo Park lab recreation at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. I highly recommend it to everyone. In his 80's Edison recreated his Menlo park lab at the museum to include all the shelved bottles of chemicals, elements, powders, etc into it. Probably 500+ jars and bottles!! It's very impressive, and it looks like Edison had the no stack, one-handed rule too. The lab was lined with shelves across every perimeter wall up to ceiling. It made me think of Casey's studio in NYC, Tom Sachs and of course Van Neistat's spaces.
No, it’s not. Organisation of stuff must follow a few simple principles, that’s the whole point. After that, the only person who can really organise your things is you.
When at work and can’t find your chisel or whatever: don’t go look for it, but start cleaning up your mess. Takes less time, you’re guaranteed to find back your tool and a fresh start as a bonus.
good lord what an absolute banger of a video. it's a true revelation to see someone take organisation to a next level while yet keeping things small, understandable and personal. absolutely agree on the talismans - espescially rubber bands are under-appreciated by society as far as i'm concerned. I always have a rubber band wrapped around my lighter, so by default i carry both a lighter and a thick rubber band.
I don't know what it is but something in these videos has such a different vibe to it than all other things on youtube. Van talking about any subject is so on brand and authentic that it makes me think this platform is not just full of people making life seem easy or trying to sell me something. This just feels like a genuine and honest approach to all these subjects with so much work put into them that I feel blessed every time a new video is uploaded. Thank you Van for these awesome videos and please never change your style for anything. :)
I have a torn rotator cuff (the real one). I restore architectural homes professionally and I have recently come to learn how difficult it is to work with one hand.
Have read only only a minute's worth of comments and feel obliged to offer kudos on the sound art cavorting as music that is under your narration and the in situ sounds. Inspiration!
Finally i found someone like me. I thought I am the only. Organizing so precisely is mentally pretty hard sometimes. But really cool to see these simiarities. Keep doing!
I feel like I've been invoked into some alternate dimension while watching this video, and it is a nice place to be. Proud member of the binder clip club and im always encouraging recruits
I got this video as a suggestion, and all the sudden, I see a fellow old Land Cruiser fanatic three-quarters in.. that made an already great video even more awesome!!!
I've been doing these things all my life and getting teased for it. This piece is now my social proof. Creators need a creative space, and, for the uncreative support tasks to take less time thru simplicity and clarity. Did l miss something about this season's shades and tints are...
Van this is just awesome. I was always awed by how you and Casey arrange everything so neatly! If you make this a series I’d watch. Btw after your kit video on bike tools I fished out a dewalt too bag and put tools for my bicycle repair in that and it’s so useful. Note that your messages are impacting peoples lives in a positive way. Keep it up
Dude, are you me? Somehow TH-cam recommended this video today and I realized I already do all the things you recommended. Great work with the edition btw! And great content! Subscribed!
What on the hell did I click on!!?? This is FREAKING AWESOME!! I seriously clicked on this channel to see about these organizational hacks. But the humor in this is beyond anything I could see on stage! Definitely subscribing.
This is perfect for ADHD folks who strive for organization, but lack of project focus makes chaos of an organized shop. It’s also perfect for movie nerds. The sound effects were giving me heavy Kubrick vibes, even though you ended with a Scorcese clip.
Stumbled on this while scrolling, glad I did. Like your style, direct, to the point, simple ideas, all practical and not a long video. I must say the storage of jumper cables under the hood, brilliant!
No stacks/one-handed, YES! Now if only I can get hubs on board. My life is so happy everywhere I have implemented this. Can’t wait to hear more, just had to chime in with enthusiasm at number one.
I found the hardest part of organizing your home is getting your partner to agree on how to organize it. We have compromised by cutting our home into equal pieces.
@@michaelvossen7253 - Whatever works, right??? Have you two looked at Clutterbug categories? It’s like a clutter personality assessment of individual preferences overall, and/or in particular categories. Everyone falls somewhere on two measurements: How much they need/want to see all their stuff out vs behind doors, in clear containers vs opaque containers. And Do they want to store things in very discrete categories vs general ones, like: “Toys” vs “action figures” “First Aid” vs “band-aids” “Cleaners” vs “glass cleaners” Etc. Strategies are available for each style, and for some things it’s just easier to accommodate the person who wants to macro-organize in plain sight - ideally in a dedicated container. The most helpful thing about this (to me) is understanding that it’s ok for people to be mentally wired in different ways.
I went to hit the like button, but realized I had already hit it after one of the other dozen times that I watched this video. The fact that the algorithm keeps dropping this into my feed is a good indicator that I must be watching the proper amount of useful content on a regular basis. 😂
I would definitely add decluttering to the list. Minimalism is insanely handy, even if you don't go full-bore. Also, I'm very glad you gave that occult disclaimer. Otherwise I'd have to leave a comment about it. Now I just need to leave a comment about not leaving a comment about it.
I haven't even finished the video yet because I'm too excited and happy for finding it at this time exactly what I needed it. Seek and you shall find. But wow thank you I'm so grateful for this today and now I have everything that I need right now
Hmm, I gotta go with Velcro brand Velcro Tape, Dymo Punch Label Tape, 3M Dual Lock Tape, Zip Ties and Rustoleum Saftey Orange Spray paint as my talismen. A few Hammer-in Cable Stays, a couple 3M Hooks and some Pro-Gaff Gaffers Tape never hurts to keep around too.
Self respect is the first barrier to organization. One must first respect their self before they can respect others and eventually learn to respect things. One must respect things before organization can begin.
Amazingly awesome video, artistically wonderful. If I may propose my personal #6: Sort shelves similar to the way they are sorted on the shelf at your favorite store. This not only optimizes my organization but also my time spent in stores.
If the algorithm gives me this, I love the algorithm. The organization is all about a Lean environment, in which waste has no room for all work to flow sustainably. I love this guy.
Thank you for making these videos. I've never been a DIYer but these inspire me to get into it and have some fun! I built a rack for wood today. Out of wood.
One of my favorite Spirited Man videos yet! Reminded me of a book I read years ago called The Organized Mind. Some more great rules in there that can apply to the home and workspace
I thought the last part would include digital storage for some reason. A man who works with computers all day long keeps his hard drives well organized, I would imagine. Speaking of computers, will you make wallpapers for your patreon subscribers someday? I wish I had a spirited man wallpaper on my phone.
Instructions unclear I have now summoned a organization demon, he actually doesn't do any organizaing, just complains when I put something away in the wrong place.

I'd watch 10 of your favorite shelving designs and hardware
I would watch that over this video

I'd watch it AND give it a thumbs up
As others have said, a longer more in-depth video (or a series of videos) on your organizational thought process is much needed.
No, it’s not. Organisation of stuff must follow a few simple principles, that’s the whole point. After that, the only person who can really organise your things is you.
yaaaas bishhh
He's too busy organising to make another vid

Mama always said!
I can't stress just how effective this is. Don't know how I struck upon that habit, but it's a genuine time and sanity saver.
My sixth one is: transparent containers! The PET, light, stackable, and free ones from Deli products are ideal to organize drawers.
I use it as tuber-ware (freezer food storage containers
@@nickdannunzio7683 you mean Tupperware right?
Shorten your jumper cables!? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. NO! Unacceptable! Most jumper cables are too short already! Just say no!
Immediately clicked on this video wishing it was an hour long...
Same
Agreed.
Yess!!
Same
But it was too organised
good lord what an absolute banger of a video. it's a true revelation to see someone take organisation to a next level while yet keeping things small, understandable and personal. absolutely agree on the talismans - espescially rubber bands are under-appreciated by society as far as i'm concerned. I always have a rubber band wrapped around my lighter, so by default i carry both a lighter and a thick rubber band.
I think I broke my jaw.
It dropped so hard after seeing the engine compartment jumper cable box… So simple. So obvious. So practical.
Same. It’s genius haha it literally made me smile
It's honestly dumb as hell that it's not a built in feature on every car
NOCO Boost Plus GB40 ?
Yeah but don’t cut your jumper cables tho
I think you have to be careful about obstructing the free flow of air to your engine intake.
* Not a mechanic 😬

MORE OF THIS PLEASE VAN :) - about to move to a new home, and all I was thinking PRIOR to this video was, "how would a Neistat do it" - this was gold.
As someone who makes an effort to remain organized…I am thoroughly impressed by all your organization philosophies. Nice!
An ode to all of us who spend more time organizing than working 😅
Storing the jumper cables in the engine compartment has blown my mind. Subscribed.
That jumper cable box is now in my top 5 things I've ever seen on TH-cam.
I have a torn rotator cuff (the real one). I restore architectural homes professionally and I have recently come to learn how difficult it is to work with one hand.
This is truly brilliant and useful. This video is as beautiful and entertaining as it is practical. Thank you.
Omg, the jumper cable modification/storage in the truck is genius!!! Always at the ready, I love it!
This is exactly what I needed! Organizing my parents house with 50 plus years of items.
Have read only only a minute's worth of comments and feel obliged to offer kudos on the sound art cavorting as music that is under your narration and the in situ sounds. Inspiration!
Finally i found someone like me. I thought I am the only. Organizing so precisely is mentally pretty hard sometimes. But really cool to see these simiarities. Keep doing!
There are hundreds of channels dedicated to organising.
Had to pause the video to say that jumper cable storage compartment is genius. Mind blown. You do customization like nobody else.
ha! I've been using #64 rubber bands since my high school days of working at Office Max. They're the best!
The jumper cables box in the LC is awesome
I feel like I've been invoked into some alternate dimension while watching this video, and it is a nice place to be.
Proud member of the binder clip club and im always encouraging recruits
The jumper cable box is so much over the top, but I know exactly how satisfying it will feel in the end!!!
To keep this studio and workshop organized, we stock and revere a pentavarite of organizational talismans 👔
I love when I find videos that just “make sense” to my brain. Thankfully, a lot of your videos do. Especially this one. Thank you.

Agree. Creative people need an organised space to create.
"In the beginning there was shelves".
You're god-damn right.
Subbed.
Hmmm, Says 80 grit while turning over a sheet of 100? Couldn’t be a mistake. To much thought and effort was put into this masterpiece.
I heard « any » grit
After 40 years of construction (from tools to management) I knew what I was "in for" when I would look into a subcontractors truck...
This video changed my life. Thanks Van.
Your ability to make anything into a story and video is so inspiring for me ...just inspires me to keep making more vids... Thanks Van🔥💯
Van this is just awesome. I was always awed by how you and Casey arrange everything so neatly! If you make this a series I’d watch.

A god of video production. I’m obsessed. I genuflect to you, alone.
I almost needed smelling salts after the jumper cable scene. Brilliant!
Stumbled on this while scrolling, glad I did. Like your style, direct, to the point, simple ideas, all practical and not a long video. I must say the storage of jumper cables under the hood, brilliant!
Very helpful!!! I'm a junk drawer on 2 legs.
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while.
This is honestly my favorite video. It speaks to all of my obsessions and desires for organization. Wish Van made more of this.

Everyone falls somewhere on two measurements:
How much they need/want to see all their stuff out vs behind doors, in clear containers vs opaque containers.

Do they want to store things in very discrete categories vs general ones, like:
“Toys” vs “action figures”

“Cleaners” vs “glass cleaners”
Etc.

I'm observing and trying for a long while and I have adopted many of the things said here
super cool, love the jumper cable storage solution
I click. I learn. I appreciate. Thank you.

I (amongst other things!), loved your 'customise' dictum. Yes : really speaks to me! Also, great, measured voice. Subscribed right after video.
Love this video! And your voice and delivery
Very calming, i enjoy
I will apply what i can from this
I would definitely add decluttering to the list. Minimalism is insanely handy, even if you don't go full-bore.
Also, I'm very glad you gave that occult disclaimer. Otherwise I'd have to leave a comment about it. Now I just need to leave a comment about not leaving a comment about it.

add to the pentagram of organization: velcro cable ties, double sided tape, custom cut card board boxes.
Zip ties. Buttonhole thread. Binder clips. Loose paper. Straight pins. Those little finishing nails.
I fuckin love van. These videos are impeccable and really inspire. im not even kidding.
This video was strangely calming. If you don’t have shelf brackets but have 1x2’s and a kreg jig you can make your own super sturdy shelves.
Solid rules! I've been trying out pencil cases like you have there and its been going well.
Hmm, I gotta go with Velcro brand Velcro Tape, Dymo Punch Label Tape, 3M Dual Lock Tape, Zip Ties and Rustoleum Saftey Orange Spray paint as my talismen. A few Hammer-in Cable Stays, a couple 3M Hooks and some Pro-Gaff Gaffers Tape never hurts to keep around too.
The jumper cable idea... brilliant! well, all of it, brilliant!
I need to take notes on this.....(Dang, where's one of my molskin notebooks??)
Self respect is the first barrier to organization. One must first respect their self before they can respect others and eventually learn to respect things. One must respect things before organization can begin.
I was not existing this random suggestion to be this damn good.
I'm gonna keep it.
And maybe one of these days I'll get Organizized.
Thanks, bro. You don't know how much did I need this video. 😢
This is it. Classic Van
I had started doing this intuitively!!!!
Amazingly awesome video, artistically wonderful. If I may propose my personal #6: Sort shelves similar to the way they are sorted on the shelf at your favorite store. This not only optimizes my organization but also my time spent in stores.
I love your advice, I love even more the visual and audio vibes.
Absolutely brilliant .
So much love. But always be careful not to obstruct airflow in the engine compartment
If the algorithm gives me this, I love the algorithm.
The organization is all about a Lean environment, in which waste has no room for all work to flow sustainably. I love this guy.
This might be the most impactful video you've made. Thank you for the tips!
this and the gift-giving ones. I love where he boils down big lists into simple categories and principles.
Keep everything at super low entropy...
Saved you a watch
As a car enthusiast I came here for the Land cruiser videos, but here I am now relearning my life. This content is gold!
He has Cruiser videos!!! Awesome!
Thank you Lord Van😊
Thanks Van. No words to add except French Cleats…..
Thank you for making these videos. I've never been a DIYer but these inspire me to get into it and have some fun! I built a rack for wood today. Out of wood.
not all junk drawers are junk drawers. I really like that!
This video is good, a little bit strange, interesting and worth my time to watch 😊
I love a fellow organizer
I like this guy style a lot! ⚙️
I need to focus on this practice
DAmn the jumper cables was a good one.
you have easy, practical, doable advice..
Absolutely brilliant 😊👍🏼
Beautiful my man! Great timing. I’m organising the shop today, but I’m totally overwhelmed and don’t know what to start.
Thanks Van
Aways great to come across another creative organizer
I was like why is this video so immediately captivating and concise then I read that last name
oh! you are so cool that you bought your hooks in Japan!
👏 I enjoyed every second!
I was so focused on you installing that box in the engine bay I almost missed that enormous turbo lol
One of my favorite Spirited Man videos yet! Reminded me of a book I read years ago called The Organized Mind. Some more great rules in there that can apply to the home and workspace
I have added the book to my list of To Reads. Thank you.
It’s a sign. I’m currently reading The Revenge of Analog by David Sax, and just underlined “The Organised Mind” as a mental note to get a copy…
thank you for making this.

that'd be an awesome Patreon gift!!!
Alright you got me with the shelving
Instructions unclear I have now summoned a organization demon, he actually doesn't do any organizaing, just complains when I put something away in the wrong place.
One of the best videos !!!! I like to watch from Van !! If I can make 50% these tips.. my wife will love me again..
Maybe the best thing I saw on internet.
Nice editing ❤
Nice pace

"80 grit" *flips and its 100 grit* got me good haha
