I totally agree. !

For years I did the "where is the heck is that tool I just used 5 minutes ago" and I wasted a ton of time looking for tools. Then I just forced myself to put the tool back in the proper spot in the tool chest. I organized my tool chest and now the tools have a spot that they go back to. I can put my hand on it in seconds and no more searching. The seconds it takes to put it away is much less time than wondering around looking for a dang tool.

I still find myself setting a tool down in the dumbest places. I carried my 3/8 socket drive into the bathroom with me and I was about convinced the aliens from outer space changed from abducting people to abducting my tools.
