It's a little frustrating for a while but at my age I figured I should set myself some memory exercises, so rather than labelling my big drawers I set them up in themes (e.g. measurement, fixings, mechanical tools, metal stock, etc) then all I have to remember is what drawer is for what (that only took me a few days) and then I open that drawer and can quickly scan around for what I need. After a while you get to remember pretty well where everything is and so far this has worked really well.
I do have dozens of little plastic drawers for chainsaw parts, electronic/electrical, air fittings, and plumbing etc which I label with a large font label maker.
Now if only I could remember where I put my TC lathe cutting tips????
