The best way to avoid losing items is not having them at all. If I need to do something that requires tools, I'll pay for the service or rent/borrow the tools.
No one will give you back the time you spend organizing things.
Buying the tools for the job is usually much cheaper than hiring a contractor to do the job.
For example, hiring a contractor to blow the leaves off your driveway a single time costs more than a leaf blower, and it takes 5 min to blow off your driveway, less time than it takes to pay the bill.
