The trick is to just put the tool back in the same place each
time. It doesn't matter if you have your tools scattered in
several dozen places about the house, just make sure that each
thing goes back to its home when you are done with it.

The biggest problem then becomes training yourself to put things
away after a job, but that is a relatively simple 'trick' to
learn (certainly easier than going through everything and
organizing them, which often leads to CFS).


When my kids were growing up, they had full, unrestricted access
to my shop and tools. There was one rule that I applied very
strongly: when done with a tool, either put it exactly where you
found it OR leave it on my workbench and I'll put it away.

Now that the kids are grown and gone, I have some neighborhood
teenagers who occasionally borrow tools. Before they get them,
however, they have to recite the #1 rule to me. grin
