Overwhelmed with trying to organize all the tracks into where/when each should be used...

The area I'm weakest at is trying to organize the OST tracks into mood/motif and where/when each should be used...

Some are obvious where they should go in the story, others are wildcards.

At the moment I have them as
- Character
- Serious mood (universal)
- Regular passage of idle time
- Other

the "other" being songs that could fit in multiple categories, or none.

Any advice? Tricks of the trade? Best practices?

Restarting the process now and organizing by:

- Characters
- Passage of normal idle time
- Introduce premise
- Premise tension (feels bad but helpless / outcome is unknown / hubris)
- Fail (or)
- Succeed (Character?)
