Here's my blunder for the day. Just did this about 10 minutes ago
That's ok I just installed a front cover and after putting on the valve covers realized that I missed the trigger wheel... time to start scraping RTV

It's nice to know I'm in good company, we can't all be perfect all the time.
I learned to number things when I was doing an engine rebuild for the first time. a couple of those divided bin containers, some bags, and a roll of cheap masking tape, made it pretty simple to keep track of not only the order I took off things, but the order they should be put back on.
"why is bag 15 here when i'm on opening bag 10?" becomes an easy way to catch yourself before you get too far down the "Aw SHIT!" hole.

Laptops are easy to lose track of screws, too.
Been a few times where I was done, laptop up and running, and there's that ONE tiny screw on the table looking at me...
Now, not only is the table clean and clear of everything else, I lay down a white cloth (helps keep small parts from rolling away) and I have a note pad and a sheet of paper laid out.
The paper gets divided into quadrants where I put sketches showing where all the screws go as I remove them and all connectors that get disconnected. Then the screws get laid in the quadrants with the pictures they belong to.
The biggest thing, though, is trying not to break any of the small plastic pieces as you disassemble it, especially where those tiny screws go.

Yep.
-And I'm dealing with 42 desktops, 5 laptops, five servers, five routers, a six-unit wi-fi system, three battery back-ups, a (failed) generator and an antiquated power system, part of which goes back to the 1930s.
I've got drawers full of left-over parts... .
