I try to be as efficient as possible. The older I get the more so.

I'm going to invent tools that whistle when I clap my hands, so I can bloody find them, when I've put the down...

I try spend a few minutes stacking out tiles, and making sure I can set up mixer and cutter etc as close to the work area as possible

The biggest one for me - when doing any building work is that I am never near a pencil. I did try buying loads and sprinkling them around the working area but somehow they all end up in the same place - which is NOT where I am.
I now use one of those retractable key/ski pass things and attach my pencil to that and then that clips to me. Its brilliant that when you have finished using the pencil you just let go of it and it retracts back to you.
I also do the same for a small 2m tape measure.

Plan your work and work to your plan!

Efficient on straight walls it's all the cuts , reveals and trims for me that slow you right up , very rarely do big rooms mainly standard bathrooms and wet rooms, the odd kitchen which all have alot of cutting involved but it is what it is rather spend that bit extra time and have no come backs .

I spend little time looking for tools,
max 20 seconds, then I go directly to the cashier
of tools, I always have at least 3 pieces per type.
3 meters, 3 pencils, 3 trowels, ect
before or after the lost one comes into the open.
