I worked in a kitchen for a little bit, and learned to follow Colette Tatou's advice: "Always keep your station clean."

It actually helps a lot. Cooking is about timing, and I've learned how long each dish takes. Staggering them means I can put certain things on the stove or in the oven, and then take time to clean. It's how I can make a 10-appetizer meal for my dozen-or-so family members without going nuts.
