My workspaces look like, well, there is really nothing to compare them to... If i get some time, i will upload a few pictures of my workspaces tomorrow.
I don't understand how you guys can put up with mess like that. Components here components there, components here and everywhere. Components up, components down, components all over the town. Only... as soon as you need one, you can't bloody well find it!!!
Forget that hassle. I spend hours sorting all mine out and giving them a specific location with a label. And then I update a database on my computer which says how many I've got
I spend like 5 hours cleaning up after I work every time (I got some OCD-ish paranoia about lead and treat it like some biohazard substance), so I try to get everything needed to be done, done in a single session.
That is pretty much what i do, crusty... There are only paths in my room and my workspace. It kinda sucks when you need something that is on the other side of the piles...
I have given up on the whole "cleaning" theory. No point if it is just going to get messy again...
Krummy, there was no reason to say that on the forum. PM him if you have a problem.
When I started my first job 9 years ago, I went out with a team that fit carpets. It was part of my initial training to sample how all the other departments work (I was in the TV repair side).
We went to this one house... my God it was absolutely BUMPING in there. There was dog doings all over their old carpet so the fitter asked them about cleaning it up before we remove the carpet. Her reply was shocking;
"Nah don't worry about it - leave it there. Just lay the new carpet on top"
