Best Practices for Organizing CSS

Hi Community! I was wondering if anyone would share their best practices for organizing their CSS file. Do you prefer to try to organize everything in relation to the document flow? Or group your base styles, and class styles together?

I feel like I start with good intentions of keeping some sort of organization to my styles, but by the end, my stylesheet just feels like a mess.

Any tips or best practices on organization would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks!

i just start at the top of the markup and work down in parallel in the css. header at the top, etc. then in media queries, same thing, top down. seems to work fine.
