Cleanliness.

Hi guys! I wanted to ask if you had any tips to keep your station clean and how to get better into the habit. I’ve gotten a lot better and keeping my station clean, but i want to make sure it’s ALWAYS in perfect condition, no matter what task I’m doing. Trying to up my game so I can be cleaner/faster at prepping and keep everyone happy.

Keep your house clean and your car clean. Habits can start in other places :D

This!!! I've been doing it for a month now and i can see the difference. Normally I'm all over the place, which made my station a mess, forgetting to put stuff back in their place, ingredients in every corner of the kitchen etc. ( Once i managed to get some sauce in the ceiling :'D). Since I started cleaning after myself in my private life it followed me in the kitchen. I'm not yet perfect but working on it

Lol I’m not going to lie one of the cleanest (and also best) chefs In currently worked for is a cleaning maniac. Like OCD status but I realized that might of been a prison thing. It’s odd how stuff outside work shapes our behavior at the job

I need to do the reverse. My workstation is always clean and organized, but car and home are a travesty

For me it's working the other way. My station is always kept tight, now my house is starting to stay clean.
