I've found that I get bogged down with having too much stuff around me. As someone else mentioned, it's a distraction and adds to my already cluttered area. I do use leaders and enders, but I use little scraps smaller than 2in. square. When the l/e'er has too much thread on it, I discard it and start another one.
