Ron, this item in particular reminds me of something read a few months back from Jesse James, the previous owner of West Coast Choppers. What you are saying embodies so much more than just this specific area of organization but thought it was good enough to share.
PopeofWelding (instagram post) Preparation is the Key. It's not just about just having a shop and the right tools. It's about being prepared Mentally, and physically to do your best work. At the end of every work day, clean up, put tools away, make lists, wipe down your machines(even your welder). Make sure you have material for tomorrow. Now Take it a step further. Before you go to bed lay out your work clothes and boots so you don't have to fish for them in the dark. Because your getting an early start. This is the path to doing your best work. Clean Shops and Clean Minds produce the cleanest Work. #jessejamesFollowing
While life indeed gets in the way some times and keeps us from the clean up and prep processes, the spirit of the note is fantastic.
