Buddy's scaffold setup changed how I prep everything

Watched a guy named Dale lay brick at a job in Akron last month. He set his scaffold with all his straps and levels in a specific order before he even mixed mortar. I always just grabbed stuff as I went. Cost me time and I'd be hunting for my line pins mid-wall. Dale had this old milk crate on the platform holding his trowel, jointer, and brush. Nothing sat on the wall or in his pockets. He told me, "If it's not in arm's reach, it's not part of the job." That clicked for me. Now I lay out my whole station before the first course, even on small repairs. Cut my setup and reset time by maybe 30 minutes a day. Anyone else got a system for keeping tools off the wall?
