Especially if you have a lot of crafting supplies.
I’m struggling with a lot of fabric, yarn, and various random wooden things I paint. I have a single bedroom apartment and there’s so much stuff that some of it is on the floor.

Everything needs to have a place: box, drawer, hook, jar, bin, anything. If it doesn’t have a place, it’s just going to end up randomly anywhere and everywhere.
You need to decide a fixed place for everything. There needs to be a fixed place for yarns, maybe multiple places for different types of yarn. There should be a specific location for fabrics. If there’s not enough floor space, start using the walls. Even the ceiling is a place where you can attach hooks, loops and whatnot.
You just need to make a hundred little decisions while organizing everything, but once that’s done you can skip the burdensome decisions in the future and simply follow the system you built earlier. Once there’s a system, don’t deviate from it, and that requires some discipline. If following it becomes a routine, you no longer have to spend much mental energy in sustaining it.
Yeah but that requires space, and OP mentions he doesn’t have much.
Screw some shelves on the walls and hooks in the ceiling. There’s so much wasted space out there. Things don’t have to touch the floor, you know.
“there’s always room on the z axis” It always surprises me how much more I can store when I start stacking things. Can make retrieval more difficult, but that’s always a trade off
