Re-discovering part of your stash.

Buying little bits & pieces for a project,over time....that may take a while.,rather than finding them in some of the weirdest places known to mankind,then sitting down with them in front of you wondering:-WTF,WHERE/TF,HOWTF,ETC. -
i've taken to,immediately upon receipt,to writing pn a small piece of paper.all details,namely what they are & what for,etc.,sealing packet/parcel,so upon re;discovery,something simple.that can make life (and your mental state)soooo much easier.

Yeah, but you always forget where you put the things you bought to use at a later date, then find you need one, can't find the one you bought earlier, and go buy another one. Then, while you are using the one you just bought, you remember where you put the first one, and put your hands straight on it. Story of my life
