The key to an organized, stress-free life is no secret. Just ask a chef.

The productivity and multitasking abilities of great chefs put the rest of us to shame. In Work Clean, Dan Charnas uncovers the key to their efficiency: mise-en-place - the organizational system that transforms the lives of its practitioners through focus and self-discipline.

The good news is: we can all benefit from the incredible power of this simple system. Charnas reveals the ten major principles of mise-en-place and shows how we can turn them into practical, robust routines to change forever the way we work and live. These simple mantras will spell an end to messy desks, bottomless email chains and cluttered homes. Think like a chef and you too could eliminate stress and distractions to improve productivity in all aspects of life.
