Close enough. I always struggle to fit back and organize used parts back to tape/reel/box. Undoing projects is not as easy as Ctrl+Z

Have been using a mixyard box with random parts pricked into a sponge. Maybe the same parts come to use in future prototyping. I quickly asked about this a while back one of my LinkedIn posts and many of the suggestions were to use a small pillbox type assortments or part racks.

Hahaha! I can very much relate to this.

And when you start a new project, you buy new components becuase it's just too much of work to find one 10k resistor from 100's of entangled components lying in the drawer.

Seen that, done that ......

My desk/workspace is usually a collection of large and/or small piles of things related to projects past.

That scenario resonates.

I have "bone piles" all over the place.

It is a real problem when I recall that I already have something I need for a current project, but it is not where it should logically be.

My filing system for project material is random distribution of cryptically labelled shoe boxes that contain a whole lot more than the label would suggest.

The labels are supposed to be memory triggers, but that method seems to have an expiry date..[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-ce48c099-07e7-4dbf-b80e-36dbbb5b0fa7/contentimage_5F00_2.png:16:16]
