Cockpit Organizers

[gkey]

I am having trouble with keeping my cockpit organized. I have manuals, charts (lots of them), POH's, and goodness-knows-what-else stowed away in the two front side pockets, seat pockets and sometimes even on the glare shield.

I need some advice on how to clean that up, but at the same time give everything its own dedicated place, so that I can find whatever I'm looking for almost without even looking for it.

Cockpit organizers seem to be the first answer that comes to mind, but there are so many different ones out there, that I simply do not know which one to choose. Perspex, plastic or aluminum? How wide? How deep? How long? What should I look for in an organizer? What makes an organizer stand out above the rest?

At the same time, I would really appreciate getting something that can also hold coffee mugs!! ;>)

Any words of advice?
