Efficiency....what methods do you use to make a job go easier?

I can't do that anymore. I've gotten so damn old that it just doesn't matter, and if I get too tricky about multi tasking I end up getting sidetracked. Just the other day I had to go in the house into the basement to get a tool, and grabbed something else that needed to go back down there. By the time I did that and put it away, I'd forgotten the real reason I'd gone down there.
