The tool you can find is worth more in the moment than the better one you misplaced.

Quality only matters when the thing is in your hand. The excellent tool in an unknown box has an effective value of zero at the moment you need it, while the ordinary one on the shelf finishes the job, and what separates them is retrieval rather than craftsmanship. Most frustration in practical work comes from searching rather than from doing.

Give the things you use often a fixed home and put them back there, even mid task. Accept the adequate tool today rather than losing an hour to the better one. Then spend twenty minutes making the good things findable so the choice stops arising.
