He’s making a list, checking it twice,
Gonna find out what’s naughty and nice. Ian’s mise-en-placiiiiiiing his life. The entire raison d’être of mise-en-place (ooh, French) is familiarization for the purpose of preparation. You inspect the ingredients. You read the recipe. You go back to re-look at the ingredients. You revisit the recipe with that new perspective. Then you do the whole thing once more for good measure. You mentally separate the wet ingredients from the dry (or even better, pick up a pen and rewrite the list entirely), categorizing each component by purpose and place in the process. For a pumpkin pie, for instance, you’d organize the ingredients for the crust, for the filling, for the whipped cream (not optional), and stew up a strategy based on when each step needs to be completed. So, if I’m doing this whole mise-en-place-my-life thing, it stands to reason I should break it down into its component parts. To address any chronic problems in my day-to-day, I need to know what makes it up.
