    Organizational folks will say that if you label your storage
    containers with what they are supposed to contain you are far more
    likely to put them back. Similarly the mechanics with peg board who
    outline each tool. There is a certain part of the mind that just will
    have an urge to put things where they belong more in such cases. I
    myself don't carry it quite so far, but I do generally towards the
    end of each bench session to clean my files, wipe down all of my
    plyers and other tools that were out and put them in the right racks
    drawers and other spots before wiping down the bench top. For me
    that last quiet 10 minutes of shop time let me focus on ordering what
    I will do next time I get out in the shop to the point I can sit down
    and write up a list of things I know I need to do if I have pieces I
    haven't finished etc. 

    For me the only way that set in was to force it every day and after
    about a month the routine just took over. 

Hope that helps,
Robert
