Another tip is ALWAYS have a container next to you for screws and parts. Putting them aside or on the footrest etc. is the first guarantee of failing, they get bumped, camouflaged or just plain lost and you'll waste hours looking for something that should have been there all along.
I keep all reusable containers (take away food, dips, plum puddings etc) and also the small sandwich bags and a permanent marker are very good where you have to keep the bits for a while.
Don't use glass, trying to gather up your bits among the shards of a shattered jar is not fun.
Keep glass jars for mixing small amounts of paint, they're cheap and when you're done you can toss them. Don't bother with jars that have plastic lids, the thinners will melt them into a sticky goo and ruin the paint. I seem to have an affinity for Aldi cream cheese jars, 250ml metal lid and good proportions for paint. You'll find your own best thing but try a few different ones. I also probably do more paint than most of you so I get more chances to make mistakes.
This job took 3 months (though not full time) so some of those bits may sit for that long before you see them again.
Properly labelled bags and pictures will prompt the memories and make the reassembly so much easier.
