In addition to the long Labor Day weekend, I took two additional days off, today and tomorrow.

I think most people want something that derails their mind and calms it; makes it so they don&#8217;t have to think of things they might normally consider responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Me? Nope. I come up with another project and hyper-focus on it &#8220;while I have the free time to get it done.&#8221; Of course it&#8217;s around the subject of organizing things. Or rather, re-organizing things. Over time, I&#8217;ve found that the way I have been storing stuff has wasted space and made it hard to find stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I won&#8217;t go into a lot of detail here, but I have two large parts organizers hanging on the wall over my workbench. Each organizer has 30 small drawers and nine large drawers and I use them for holding electronics parts (capacitors, relays, switches, transistors, etc.). Up until I started this project, it was hard to find parts and the way the drawers were divided into their constituent compartments wasted space, so I decided to stop half-assing them and re-do everything from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69dcad10744d2&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69dcad10744d2\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/044_organizers-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Akro-Mils parts organizers.\" class=\"wp-image-1119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/044_organizers-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/044_organizers-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/044_organizers-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chewbode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/044_organizers.jpg 1428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The two parts organizers over my workbench. As of 10:00pm on 2024.09.02, I had almost completed re-doing the left one.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This meant designing new drawers, from scratch, printing them on my trusty Bambu P1P, and replacing the factory-supplied drawers with the new ones. The design process did take a few hours to get just right, but the majority of the time spent comes from printing. If all goes well, I should be 100% complete with one of the two organizers today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m famous, or maybe infamous, for starting projects and not completing them. This will be the first project where I&#8217;ve implemented a encouragement and reminder system for getting it done. Basically, making notes to keep plugging away every day until it&#8217;s complete. I&#8217;ll have to see how it goes, and will report back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh, how good it feels to have a few days off.
