This is good Ken but when you say "Stop after each task" what are you defining as a task? For example when I was framing the Discovery I used the same tools everyday for weeks. Would that be a task? And then you get into parts where you have to wait for glue to dry so you're working on a half dozen things just to keep busy. If you cleaned up after each one you would spend half your day putting tools away and getting them out again. I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ but I was once told that there is a difference between scratching an itch and tearing it all to heck.(I cleaned that up a bit
). Maybe the problem for me is that I can't tell the difference so I solve it by leaving stuff out. Also I'm getting old (turning 75 in a couple of weeks) so maybe there is no point. I can justyou leave it and my kids can clean it up when they sell the house.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I think it's helping. The work space on my bench has doubled. From about a square foot to at least two. I'm just not sure about containers and shelving that hide the stuff(like drawers) because I'm sure I'd forget where it was. "Out of sight, out of mind"
