Long ago, I posted a video about an art studio that listed a certain number of “rules to work here”. There is one of the specific rules that I’m trying to remember but I can’t find the video. The rule pertained to organizing your current workspace with tools and supplies at right angles (parallel or perpendicular). That rule was titled “Always Be …" and then a made up word or possibly a name that I can’t remember. I think it starts with an F and ends in ING. Like “frelling” or “futzing” or something.

Adam Savage mentioned it in his book “Every Tool’s a Hammer” but I lent my copy out and haven’t got it back.

Was it Knolling?

I do this all the time before I knew the term. Coworkers think I'm odd.

I learned this from my middle school industrial arts teacher. He had peg boards with tools organized in this manner. Each tool had an outline, so you know at a glance what is missing.
He was very big on cleaning up after every task, "clean as you go". Also, "Every tool has a home, put it back!"
