I'm the same! I have all the necessary tools I'll need right next to my machine. They're on a flat tray (cover of a large shoe box) with a cloth liner so I can spot whatever I need right away. I have to have it neat when I start out sewing and then when I end it for the time being I straighten up. All fabric is sorted, and other extras are organized. Not saying all should work this way, but it's better for me.
