Doesn't happen to me often at all. You need to get better organized.

re: Coffee cans make handy storage containers. I have a bunch filled
with stuff.
Closer.
re: "Coffee cans make handy storage containers".
A very true fact that stands under it own merits.
re: "I have a bunch filled with stuff"
A bunch of coffee cans filled with stuff or a bunch of storage
containers filled with stuff?
While in some cases they may be one and the same, it is unclear to the
reader if *you* are using coffee cans as storage containers or just
simply stating an interesting fact about them (coffee cans, not
storage containers).
I think that most readers would correctly *assume* that you are using
coffee cans as storage containers, but I'm not sure if that assumption
would stand up in court.
I once saw Kelsey Grammer at Chicago's O'Hare Airport.

:Way ahead of you, they are all full. Except those I use for cleaning paint
:brushes.
:
:Fruitcake tins are handy storage devices too...they spread stuff out more
:than coffee cans, easier to spot that special, needed bolt saved from long
:ago.
Nice for storage are those plastic drawer gizmos designed for the
purpose. I have a couple of those. That's for specific parts, like 8x32
machine screws, various sizes of washers, nails, nuts, etc. etc. etc. I
even have a few drawers dedicated to stainless steel parts. For some
parts, I buy in bulk and keep them in the boxes, usually from Home
Depot.
Glass jars are nice, cause you can see in them. Also, clear plastic
containers. I have at least one dedicated to matched machine screws,
matched wood screws, etc. all in individual plastic bags and placed in a
container. Then there are containers for unmatched machine screws,
unmatched wood screws. Several other containers, and many boxes on
shelves with specific purposes, and so labeled so I don't have to
remember too much.
Tool rack, various shelves all over the room. My neighbors don't even
know about my toolroom, so I never have to deal with the knock on the
door for a tool. Only a couple of my friends know about it, one's
reaction when he saw it: "Santa's workshop!" I also have work aprons and
belts, a tool bucket with bucket boss, a cool tool pouch I made myself
from leather years ago when I worked on the docks.
