My color-coding habit just saved a job from chaos

Almost crossed wires in a tight attic space. Used different tape colors on the ends quick. Now sorting cables is a breeze every time.

Love this simple trick for avoiding huge headaches later. Smart organization really is just doing the slightly annoying thing now so you don't hate yourself later (I should apply this to my entire life, honestly). It's proof that the best solutions are often the simplest ones.

Actually sometimes the annoying thing now feels impossible when you're already overwhelmed. The simple solution is only simple when you have the energy to see it. My brain fights me on putting stuff away right after use even though I know it saves time later. What's your trick for pushing through that resistance?

Color coding is a bit overkill for most jobs though.
