Too many tools causing a mess?

If you are like me, you have reached a point where you have a tool for just about any home repair task you can think of. The problem comes in the form of orginization and time. sometimes I may work on a project to near exhaustion and am too tired to put things away. this only takes a couple of times to create a HUGE mess. I have found it very advantagous to take steps to create a space for everything in my garage and sheds.
Of these spaces there are shelves that have either been purchased or built. I prefer to use the type that will hold several hundred pounds and have a metal frame with wooden shelves. One note however is that I have replaced the pressboard with Plywood, I find it much stronger and more resistant to moisture. Another Item that I would consider a must would be a larger roll a way tool chest. This works well for smaller hand tools, such as screw drivers, socket sets, wrenches and the like. I also like to dedicate one drawer to things like gasket sealer, and anything that may come in a tube. You may also want to dedicate some wall space for some hooks that would hold things like extention cords, rope, drop lights and such.
I have also found it very helpful to get everything put away as soon as possible if not immediatly
