I don't have it written down, but I have been applying things like lean manufacturing principles to the kitchen. I.e. looking at and optimizing various subtasks and figuring out why they take so long or why the cleanup is such a PITA afterwards.

I would say that my process is probably incompatible with the preferences and physical kitchen layout of others, so you need to find something that works for you specifically. If you are having trouble figuring it out, start asking the following:

> What do I like to eat?

> Am I willing to cook it for myself on a weekly basis?

> (presumption) Why not?

> Here is where you start getting recursive with why-why-why.
