I really like using these shelves, would one fit on the right side?
Amazon Basics 5-Shelf Shelving Storage Unit on 4'' Wheel Casters , Metal Organizer Wire Rack, Chrome Silver (30L x 14W x 64.75H) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071DZHMVN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_1EPZB330NQTHXSR22BQT?psc=1
I use something like this for my partner's hats:

But instead of putting it in a hanger, I slipped it in a retractable rod.
We use this one. It’s a 3 tier dish rack with a small footprint and it’s the best purchase I ever made. Honestly. It looks like it isn’t in stock right now on Amazon, but you might be able to find something similar. https://www.amazon.com/Ace-Teah-Drainer-Stainless-Utensil/dp/B085NBMJRX?pd_rd_w=6dRO3&content-id=amzn1.sym.1db61dc1-18bd-4e84-ade3-9872a4852ad6&pf_rd_p=1db61dc1-18bd-4e84-ade3-9872a4852ad6&pf_rd_r=ZMWNJBR6CBGKC998N6ZM&pd_rd_wg=f0gf...
Or this if the drawer is more than 12 inches deep, then the shifting wouldn't be as much an issue.
If you’re already in the Google atmosphere Asana may work well for you and is free or inexpensive depending on what you need/how many people on the team.
It’s a full project management software with timelines, dependencies, etc, and does have a board (similar to card) view. I also love the ease of integration with Google (like forward an email to add a task). You can build Google forms that create asana tasks, use SSO to log in with your Google account, attach Google drive files to tasks/projects, and it can sync with Google calendar.
I don’t work for asana but use it daily for work and love it enough that I have a personal account to for my home/personal projects.
Other options that I like are Trello, Airtable, Freedcamp, and Toggl - you’ll have to check out a few and see what best fits your team needs.
My partner and I have something like this clothes rack with three square cloth baskets for "in-between" clothes
Tangkula 100% Natural Pine Wood Garment Rack, Freestanding Clothing Rack Stand w/Storage Shelf & Hanging Rod Stable Triangular Frame, Perfect for Entryway, Bedroom, Living Room (White) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089KF9W73/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_WZTHP1TB755588EDYV1W
..Yeah.. does look like the shelves are only as wide as a large can.
Mason Jars are what I can think of and also something like this
Moving in while you are still under construction is stressful. Hope you’re okay!!!
I just got a countertop pot rack like this. It’s made a huge difference in the way I cook and in how the counter looks.
Upper Cabinets:
Condiments, sauces, vinegars, oils, S & P, Peanut buttter etc. to the right of the stove. Casserole dishes or other cookware and bowls next to the fridge. Dry goods on the left, baking goods too.
Drawers:
Left to right - 1. Vitamins, catch-all 2. Dish towels 3. Cooking utensils 4. Bread Drawer
Lower cupboards:
Large pots, canned goods, heavy stuff, baking pans.
That’s a start - if you’re left handed you’ll move the things that are most used to the left side of the stove, and, you’ll change a few things over time. I put all of the cooking utensils on the counter in a crock - because I don’t have many drawers.
Chaos makes more chaos - pay attention to the little things - magnetic clips all over the fridge are an example. Be creative - arrange things so that they make you smile.
Ok I see. Yes, I would definitely hang them up. A pegboard would work fine but it's also a huge pain to hang an entire pegboard. If you are allowed, I have two ideas for you. My favorite is this over the door shoe holder. We keep a lot of our cords and electronics like video game controllers in one of these. It works wonderfully. I would label each one with labels alphabetically by manufacturer.

If you don't have a door you can hang it over, I believe you can buy this same type of thing and hang it on a wall.
The second idea I have is to just buy a box of hooks with screws on the one end and put lots of hooks up. It would leave little holes in your wall but so would putting up a pegboard, and it would be easier and cheaper. Labels should again be added above each hook alphabetically by manufacturer.
The last resort would be buying a large container with cubby holes and labeling each one, but the container would likely be large, clunky and take up more room than wall hooks.
If this is a business you own, having it look nice might also be a factor if it's view of the public.
