Work Clean: The life-changing power of mise-en-place to organize your life, work, and mind

Charnas, D. https://www.workclean.com/



There's a more recent version of the same book, Everything in Its Place: https://www.amazon.com/Everything-Its-Place-Mise-En-Place-Or...

I actually wrote a comment recommending the same book, but might as well tuck it here.

Mise-en-place is well designed but much of it doesn't translate well to knowledge work, which is why these books aren't more popular. It's still a great addition to your toolkit and sometimes when I'm overwhelmed, I remind myself to keep things clean and just finish stuff.


I've not heard of this one before but I just read the first page on Amazon and it looks very interesting!
