YMMV but when my work area changed from "big pile of junk" to "semi-organized", it removed a lot of the friction I had for just starting projects. I need a tape measure? I know exactly where one is, it has a dedicated 3D printed holder on my pegboard which lets me get to work instead of spending 15 minutes digging through drawers and shelves.

Yes? My tape measures are in the tape measure box. White metal cabinet, lowest shelf on the right, cardboard box marked "tape measures." There's a dozen or so tape measures in there. Same place they've been the last 30 years.
Making a custom enclosure for every tool seems over optimized and wasteful. If I were to attempt this, it would take decades and I'd never see a return on productivity within my lifetime.

I’m not sure if having a box in a drawer in the cabinet with 10 tape measures is the flex you think it is

Point taken, but still not one I feel is worth spending a few filiment rolls on
