Symmetry and correct spatial organization are very important to me. I could make a good architect, but I'd be a horrible artist. The is no other way to arrange the above items, any attempt to do so would disrupt the space time continuum.

Grandfather once taught me, the first time I was planting some bulbs, to turn my back on the planter and toss the bulbs over my shoulder. Where they landed is where they get planted.

Once I decided to do some gladiola bulbs in a row - they do not look natural when coming up.

To the OP - yup, I do this too, whether placing parts on the table when cleaning a gun, nuts and bolts when working on a car, or the tools in the tool box - guilty as noted.

thanks to JShugart for restoring balance and continuity to the iCloud!!!(i can't find it Cloud) noted & appreciated.

A few years ago I was watching a Glock factory armorer at a GSSF match tune up guns of participants.

He had 2 short-length canvas rolls of tools; mostly used one. EVERY time he removed a tool WHEN he put it down, it went back in proper pocket.

Time after time, he didn't even need to look where his hand went, and he was faster in servicing each pistol than any I've ever seen, rather like a concert master pianist playing allegro con spirito arpeggios.

Annoying artificial appearance of order at first, eventually I became enthusiastic about such heresy, and over the last few years have managed to bring my own tool-placement into similar semblance of order.

Adam Savage and crew do it all the time on their "Tested" YouTube channel, especially when working with LEGO.
