Tips/Techniques Workshop Organization- things that have made a difference for you

Tips/Techniques
Big difference for me. Has helped get things organized, well as well as I am going to organize. I think I likely have at least 30 of them. Maybe more after the weekend as I might grabs some more on Saturday.
You have just a few more than me.

I use them for projects... along with little baggies for parts as I disassemble a machine, they go n a tote or two or three
 
I live in Toronto where they add bike lanes to make it less safe for bikers, and more inconvenient for everyone else. And many drivers have trouble with the difference between a red light and a green one; forget about ignoring right of way, passing on the right and being willfully blind to giant no left turn signs

About two blocks from my house is a traffic circle. It is a one lane affair that has been there since the 1940's on roads with 30Km/s speed limits. And roads so narrow and winding that no one really can speed even if they wanted to. This works well

My Wife's family live in Ottawa and every time I go there, I dread the new traffic circles because they seem designed to cause accidents.

Don’t get me started on bike lanes! Here we are required to stay 5’ away from bikes, but they apparently can do whatever they like: don’t stop at red signals or stop signs, ride up between curbs and cars stopped waiting to signal to changed (so I have to maintain 5’ and they don’t?) and lean on stopped cars like they own them. Plus it always seems that the worst offenders are those outfitted like they’re in the Tour de France.
 
Remember when swearing at bikes that you're the one driving the 3 ton death machine. It helps to keep things in perspective.
True but most don’t care, like pedestrians walking with their headphones on entering an intersection without looking left or right trying to win the Darwin Award chanting “I have the right of way “.
