The productivity and multitasking abilities of great chefs put the rest of us to shame. In Work Clean, author Dan Charnas uncovers the key to their efficiency: mise-en-place.
(French: “put in place”)
It’s the world’s most potent personal organization system, devised by chefs.
It transforms its practitioners through focus and self-discipline.
And it’s a system that anyone can use…
Culled from over 100 interviews with culinary professionals, Work Clean is the first-ever book about mise-en-place:
• Discover the 10 ingredients of mise-en-place.
• Learn through the stories of great chefs like Thomas Kellerand Marcus Samuelsson.
• Get practical exercises to develop robust organizational habits.
The Work Clean System extracts mise-en-place from the kitchen and applies its principles to your life—whether you have an office job, are a teacher or student, or just want to be more organized at home.
The centerpiece of the Work Clean System is the Daily Meeze, your 30-minute daily planning session.
The Work Clean App for iPhone is the best way to incorporate the Work Clean System into your day:
• Quickly input Action items
• Easily sort Actions into Missions
• Order your Actions so you always see what’s on your Frontburner
