@[email protected] Q3: Is your crafting/making space meticulously organised, organised chaos, or just chaos? Or is it even worse than that

A3. When between projects, meticulously organised. In the middle of a project, herding cats. Need to get better at that as I put tools/parts/cups of tea down and then can’t find them.

I am much better organised at #RepairCafe than I am in my own workshop.

I think that is down to only having 2 hours and then I have to get all my stuff out and away.

In my workshop, stuff can be allowed to stay on the bench for far too long and then it gets lost and forgotten.

@Maker_of_Things @Andy @[email protected] @MakersHour Set up a timer for yourself and allow it only to be there for that time maybe? 🤔

I just need to get back into cleaning up at the end of the day.

That was fine when it was my job and my living as I had working hours. Now it is my hobby and I never know if I have actually finished for the day or not.

@Maker_of_Things @Andy @[email protected] @MakersHour Maybe setting yourself a time would help here? Like oh it’s almost 9pm it’s time to clean up for today!

@Spark @Andy @[email protected] @MakersHour
Yep. It used to be about 5pm, end of a working day.

Now I might finish at 11 am as I have other things to do, aiming to restart at 3pm, but then I don't get back to it and forget for a few days.

There isn't the workshop routine anymore.
