Tom, you've frequently talked about misplaced parts, tools, etc. Here's a serious tip.
You have cats, right? Buy the cat litter that comes in big cardboard boxes.
When empty, cut the box down so it fits on a shelf. Label the box "Shifters."  Label the next box "Derailleurs." Label a third box "Brakes." Label a fourth box "Pedals." Do as many boxes as necessary.
Develop the habit of putting the components into the proper box, and nowhere else. If necessary, label their details with tape.
Use the same philosophy for workshop tools. A place for everything, and everything in its place.
