Nothing slows progress like a messy garage, or excessive
storage.
I know I get frustrated when I have a job to do and head to the garage
only to have to search for the tool that I know that I have, but cannot find.
I blame the kids, the wife, and yes even the dog. When the mistake is
only mine. It is often easier (on my temper), and usually faster to just go
get another one. Now, how does this help in your production, and
gaining some of your day back.
I know this sounds pretty simple, but get organized. I am preaching to
the choir when I say that. Let me put it this way. If you take an afternoon
(or in my case, it took me a couple) and get all your tools and parts
organized, you will find that doing projects around your house will get
done faster and simpler. The best part is that you might even make a
scratch in the "Honey Do" list. Yeah Right! it is amazing how that keeps
growing.
You might be thinking that why waste that time getting it all organized,
when I could be doing more projects around the house. You will actually
save your self time. If you spend that time now, when it comes time to do
a project you will get "up and running" faster. Rather than spend that
time looking for tools and such.
Just think, if you spend 30 - 45 minutes looking for parts and tools
berfore each project. You will have that time saved after just 4-5
projects. Depending on the amount of time it took you to get organized.
