I remind my children who live at home – the "junior engineers" – to deal with the things they have in their hands while they have them in their hands. Why? Because it’s inefficient to put something down only to pick it up later and put it where it belongs. Like all rules, there are exceptions to this.
I also tell them to spend an extra 30 seconds each evening putting their shoes in the same place. When they forget to do this, they spend 10 minutes the next morning searching for their shoes. A little planning goes a long way.
Deal with stuff while you have your hands on it, while it’s in front of you. And get it done.
