Counter trays are a game changer

I was setting up to play today and realized I've become overwhelmed by the dozens and dozens of little bags containing my TFT counters - it is surprisingly hard to see what's in them at a glance, and mine, at least, are jumbled into a slippery random pile. When I organize them into bigger bags, I find I can't see much of anything and spend minutes fishing around for what I want.

So, I took an hour to re-organize the whole mess into some counter trays I repurposed from my old Squad Leader collection, and the whole situation is transformed: It only took 4 trays to hold every 1" counter from my double-set of the Legacy Edition counter sheets plus the sheets from new TFT Adventures volume. I stuck my multi-hex counters into big bags that all sit together in one of the organizing boxes, but that's no problem - there are only a few sub-types and they are all perfectly visible in the box. I feel like I just hugely dropped the activation energy to running sessions.

Now off to game!
