Work Clean

The Life-Changing Power of Mise-en-Place to Organize Your Life, Work, and Mind

De: Dan Charnas

Narrado por: Dan Charnas

Chefs across the globe have honed an incredible system for working with efficiency called mise-en-place. In this audiobook, Dan Charnas reveals how to use those principles in any kind of work outside the kitchen.

Work Clean spells out the 10 major principles of mise-en-place, or "putting in place", for chefs:

1) Preparation is prime
2) Arranging spaces
3) Cleaning as you go
4) Making the first moves
5) Finishing actions
6) Slowing down to speed up
7) Call and callback
8) Open ears and eyes
9) Inspect and edit
10) Total utilization

One by one Charnas shows how applying each of these principles at the office and at home creates a simple system for organizing your life, work, and mind.

Thought Provoking!!!

It helped give 'me' a systematic approach to just everything in life; even the most mundane tasks.

Great lessons for everyday life.

I am a disorganized creative. This book is exactly what I need. I found myself cleaning my work station and immediately feeling calmer and more in control. I plan to listen to it again but this time with a notebook next to me to take notes. I never realized that there were so many lessons to be learned from a kitchen. I plan to pass this onto my son (who works in audio and video engineering but loves to cook) and also to my activities director at work (who is excellent at his job but is also as disorganized as I am.)

Impact for Life

I chose this title with the expectation that I would improve my planning skills. I didn’t anticipate I would learn life skills. Dan’s presentation of the governing practices of Mis en Place maximizes the power of choice.

Intriguing, compelling and entertaining. I highly recommend Work Clean to anyone seeking to improve the outcome of their efforts in their work-life, home-life, and personal-life.

One of the best books on organizing I’ve ever read

It may be my favorite book on organizing. It is an intuitive and well researched system. Great stories and narration.

A must read for everyone.

Anyone can gain insights from this book. Everyone is busy and needs a way to organize their daily processes to successfully complete tasks without unnecessary stress. This book will give you that and more.

Love the food connections

As a person that works in and with food industries, I resonated strongly with the stories and examples provided in this book. If you know professional kitchens, you will grasp and resonate with lot of information in this book. Great listen!

Great book. Bringing a structure and discipline to your workplace

Fascinating description of culinary education, work of a professional chef, and just things to think about as you go about your workday

Could have been better

Started with some awesome parallels, but then seemed like it was just reaching. Good info in here regardless.

the book was okay, not exactly what I expected.

the book had some interesting point to grasp but somewhat of a drag to finish.

Insightful, Smart & Inspiring

I loved this so much that it's on my regular rotation of books that are worth reading more than once. I thought it was a brilliant idea to make a connection between a professional chef's system and the needs of the rest of us who are striving for order and efficiency at work - or at home. The pressures might not be the same, but the systems can work for anyone, anywhere. Work Clean is smart and motivating, and a must-read for anyone who loves practical, actionable insights for productivity and efficiency.
