Labels or memory how do you run your shop

[Lythor]

After misplacing yet another stash of bolts, I’m starting to think whether it’s smarter to label everything or just trust my instincts and experience. What’s your secret to staying organized without disrupting the workflow?

I do try to label everything and then sort things out as I go. The shop just seems to grow junk on its own.

Haha, that's so true, it feels like you’re wrestling with a growing wild jungle of bolts most of the time.

my secret to organizing bolts without halting your workflow is the sorting-as-you-go workflow that keeps hardware visible, contained, and immediately associated with the project

Love the 'sort as you go' method, it keeps everything organized and doesn’t interrupt the workflow!
