01 / Observe
Follow an ordinary task.
List what you carry, where you stand and which items you reach for. Notice the floor route and any surface the task temporarily needs.
Use the actual objects as your reference. Keep the first study focused on one task rather than trying to solve the whole shed at once.
02 / Draw
Keep the fixed features in view.
Mark the door, its movement and the parts of the space that cannot easily change. Add a clear working area and the main route to it.
Try two arrangements on paper. Compare the movements each one asks you to make, including the point when the task is finished.
03 / Group
Give related items a shared home.
Place the things used together in a recognisable group. Keep the most useful surface available and let less frequent supplies occupy a quieter area.
Use a label or a simple visible distinction if it helps. The category should make sense in the language you use during the actual task.
04 / Return
Test the end of the visit.
Bring the chosen item back as you normally would and see whether its intended place is convenient to use. Notice what must be moved before the item can be returned.
After several ordinary visits, review what gathers outside the plan. Adjust the relationship that causes the repeated difficulty before adding more storage.
