How do you keep a clean or organize your garage?

BP community, I need some advice kind of help!  I've been into RE investing for 10 years now.  My wife and I have three rentals and our own home.  I manage all four properties.  With all of the properties I've also begun accumulating tools to help me get the jobs done.  So my 2-car garage has a plumbing toolbox, an electrical toolbox, a toolbox with new receptacle covers both white and cream and the foam inserts, I've got the contractor boxes of receptacles, spare garage door rollers, copper plumbing parts, PVC and plastic plumbing parts, 3 boxes of painting supplies, clamps, drills, saws of all kinds, and on and on.  Plus, there are the normal things that come with having a young family such as bicycles, skate boards, baseball bats and gloves, footballs, etc.  I'm running out of room.

I already built an extra 100 square foot shed, but that filled up with extra roofing, concrete supplies, and ladders.  The other shed is devoted to the lawn equipment.  Mowers, string trimmers, chainsaw and some camping equipment.

Does anyone have any advice on how to manage the tools of the trade and reduce the clutter?  I go through things every once in a while and clean out the boxes of junk that come from cleaning out a property.  I use my stuff, but it is starting to take over.
