Time to implement shop clean-up rule #4080: Every time I walk into the shop, pick up ten items and put them away.
I have found that in just a few days, this rule will de-clutter a shop that was once an overwhelming mess. Ten screws, ten sockets, ten pieces of scrap wood, ten pieces of trash - whatever. Mix and match of course, but do it every time you walk in there and the 15-20 seconds it takes will make all the difference.
Oh, shop clean-up rule #1267: A "Honey-Do" can not be checked off the list until the tools that were required to complete said honey-do are put away.
What are your shop cleaning tips?
