Selected Excerpts from:
Rosemary Brown’s Big Kitchen Instruction Book
(Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1998)
“S” stands for Systemize:
To create a logical process for dealing with recurring chores.
Q: Why should you systemize your kitchen?
A: Systemizing prevents important jobs from (1) piling up, (2) being overlooked, or (3) getting squeezed out of your schedule. Systemizing isn’t really complicated at all. First, decide the best and most effective way to do a job. Then do it the same way every time, without spending any more mental energy reinventing the wheel. Because you’ll develop a rhythm, you’ll be able to work faster. Then, as you learn simpler or better ways of doing something, you can fine-tune your system.
Systemizing your kitchen boils down to developing routines for handling repetitive chores, such as planning menus, shopping for groceries, and doing the dishes. Dressmakers use patterns and financial analysts use spreadsheet templates. With a plan, you won’t have to face kitchen chores every day wondering, “Now what should I do next?” Instead, you’ll be sailing through work that used to bog you down. Most important, you’ll feel like you are in control. And that feeling is invigorating!
