organization

Shorthair is right (except for the spelling), but then organisation is sometimes the antithesis of true creativity  :)

Shardian is definitely a man of like mind to me. Don't worry, it's just our personality!  It's not that we don't want to be organised.  It is just that we always have something more important/creative/interesting to think/worry about, rather than sorting out where everything is.

You can always buy more tape measures!  They are quite cheap these days.  I also have about 3 + 1 for the car in case I see something when I'm out and about.

In my house it's usually that someone else grabbed a tool and never put it back.

I've tried organization. It lasts for a few days/weeks, but always falls back into disarray.
Funny thing is that even when things are a total mess, I always know where everything is...as long as I am the only person messing around. It is when someone else moves my stuff that I lose things.

Yes, ditto again.  Unfortunately, the only options if you want a living partner are to:

- become organised  :scared  ; or
- create a separate space for your hobbies (pref. with a lock)   :cheers:

Can relate.... I generally know where most stuff is in the house, except for the first few months after my wife decides that we should clean things up.  Takes a few months for the "natural sorting order" (disarray) to come back, at which point I've figured out where everything is again (and put all the useful stuff near the front/top).  Then, sure enough, its time to "clean up" again...  :angry:
