You can create your own sets of Photoshop brushes. For example, you can bundle in one set your all favourite floral brushes, grunge brushes, shapes or just simply most used brushes. It all depends on your creativity and sense of order

TIP:
The Save Brushes command saves all the brushes that you currently have in your Brushes Palette, so if you want to create a set you need to delete the unwanted brushes from the palette

To delete a brush choose a Brush tool and then open the Brush Preset picker (options bar) or go to Brushes Palette. After right click over the unwanted brush choose Delete Brush

Faster way of removing brushes is Alt+left click on the brush, but then Photoshop will delete the brush without confirming.

SO HOW DO YOU SAVE THOSE SETS?

Make sure you’ve gathered all Photoshop brushes you want to bundle in the set

To save the set go to Brushes Palette, click on small right arrow and choose Save Brushes from the menu. Name your set and save it in your chosen location. Photoshop brushes files have .abr extension

You can also save your brushes in options bar after choosing Brush tool

Because I create many brushes and often bundle them in sets I’ve invented myself a little strategy Oh, yes I’ll share all my secrets

First of all delete all brushes in your palette except one (for example round soft 60 px tip) and save this brush. I named that file 1.abr (my creativity kills me )

I’ve created that file for faster removal of unwanted brushes from the palette When I want to create another Photoshop brushes set I just replace my current palette with that one brush, so I’ve got only one to delete

I make a new set of Photoshop brushes only when all images are prepared. Then I clear the Brushes Palette, Open my images with Photoshop, define images as brushes and save completed set. Actually making brushes itself takes approximately 10 min of my precious time

THE END

This is actually the end of my tutorial. You can read it again, if you want to I hope it will be helpful.
