Little project - handling spare keys

 My  "junk drawer" in the kitchen is actually more like a kitchen office drawer.

There is a heavy wad of keys in here that feels hard to grab and look through.  Too many keychain and dangles for one thing.  And if you were in a hurry it would be hard to place your hands on the exact key you needed.

This is where everyone looks for spare keys, so it needs to stay.  I ordered some plastic key tags to try to make some sense of them.

Instead of the flimsy label paper they come with, I used card stock.  But other than that, I have no complaints.  I have spares for a couple of the kids' cars and apartments, not to mention my own.  I saved the extra tags to use in another way. And for $4, I'm happy with the way they work.

I was left with a pile of random keychains and fobs that will get put elsewhere, and a ring of keys that will be so much easier to flip through to find the right key.

(I used these notebook rings in my closet to hang purses, also)

I still have ziploc of "indeterminant keys" (so named by The Girl) in the top of my toolbox with a note to recycle them in 2028.  I figure I have until then to decide if I need them.  Have you organized your keys?  Could you (or someone) easily grab up the set of spares if there were an emergency?
