Thats a classic, always happens like that, put something down or away temporarily, can't find it, need it to finish up, now your whole day and focus is in jeopardy, before you know it, some s.o.b. pardon the expression) stole it LOL !! whole thing is spiraling out of control, then it slaps you right in the face, 'cause its right in plain sight but you just don't see it LOL !
Hard to say how many times I've done something similar, whats worse is, if I leave a table or have any horizontal surface, things just grow on places like that, like I planted clutter of all the various things in ones garage as if I was going to harvest something from it later ! It was just a bad habit and boy just put one small thing on any of those junk covered tables, it gobbles it up and says thank you may I have another! LOL !
So now I use a fold up table along with my tool chest, and whatever I am working on and the rule is it gets folded back up when done, sure has eliminated the above.
I find I only did this at home, any side job, work for a customer, or anywhere else, even in the farmers shop I use to help, just a neat freak and always have good housekeeping throughout the job. In his shop, there were a few different tool chests, one his sons, they kinda clashed a bit, but no trouble working from any or all of them, I would make a mental note of what came from what tool chest and what drawer and made darned sure it went back exactly where it was, come home to my garage, clutter on top of tools on on of those tables, shameful to admit, maybe lazy or just worn out after long days, fold up tables sure helped get of that habit, funny how people will remark how neat and tidy you work, just don't look around my place at home LOL ! In more recent times, I've made sure to rid myself of these habits, + I've had more time, the tools are neatly put away immediately and I try to work off a clean bench or table, funny how one acts differently when no one is watching, all human nature, and always comical, 'cept when you have to buy something you already have 2 of but can't find it LOL !

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
