I've got my own bad habits. Right now my availible work space is dominated by a 4x8' work surface/plywood storage stack. I'm stuck with this till i can block out the time to build up the touring bike frame and parts pile that takes up half the surface. Point is i have a large flexible flat surface. All my bike tools have a propper home in a tool chest but migrate out to the work surface and collect in knife and fork kitchen drawer organizer trays, cake pans and cardboard boxes. These containers evolve into semi specific task collections. Absolute chaos is controlled by regularly going through the bench pile an returning tools that i wont need for the next couple projects. I need to reorganize the the space and move the plywood else where. Then I'm going to try a rolling cabinet with a small peg board as a tool collector adjacent to a smaller bench and work stand.
