How to Make Staying Organized Easy to Do
09/26/22 • 17 min
There’s a French cooking term mise en place that means to set in place. It is a method of preparation taught all over the world that maximizes efficiency and reduces errors.
There are 5 steps to mise en place:
- Know your recipe — necessary ingredients, cookware, and baking times
- Prepare your ingredients — clean, chop, mince... whatever is required
- Arrange your ingredients — appropriate size bowls, positioned logically
- Prepare your workstation — set the oven temperature, clean the utensils
- Arrange your tools — similar logic applied to cookware and necessary equipment
This level of organization in advance, not only increases the chances of an optimal outcome for the recipe, it provides an easier and even enjoyable experience for the cook.
There’s no scrambling around looking for that tool or ingredient. There’s no disappointment after serving the dish realizing an ingredient has been missed or measured incorrectly.
This episode covers how staying organized at work increases your chances of optimal outcomes, and makes work easier and more enjoyable. Not only that, staying organized makes you look good in the process.

A Model for You to Process Change and Emotions
According to an article in the Harvard Business Review, every organization has an emotional culture, even if the culture is one of suppressing emotions. “By not only allowing emotions into the workplace, but also understanding and consciously shaping them, leaders can better motivate their employees.”
To dive more deeply into this topic, I reached out to a colleague of mine, Joy Stickel. Joy is an accomplished and highly motivated global human resources leader with a deep passion for work in the talent and culture space. Her HR career spans over 25 years and extends across a range of industries including hospitality, high tech, life sciences, and pharma.
