I know this has been asked and answered a gazillion times, but I'm dense and
I never really paid attention.

I got extremely frustrated this afternoon looking for a certain color of
DMC thread (I never did find it) and I decided it's time to do something
about my messy system.

So what's the consensus on the best, easiest way to organize thread?

This time I promise to be good and listen.

I have my floss on bobbins, in floss boxes. I have all but 33 DMC
colours, and they fit in 7 boxes, which sit neatly on a bookshelf. I
like this system because it's easy to find what I need, and if I'm
trying to choose colours, I can open all the boxes and spread them out
on the floor to see what catches my eye. Hope that helps!
