In cooking, the term “mise en place” is essentially preparing the ingredients for a dish before you begin cooking. I was fixing a curtain rod and used the term as a way of saying “I should have gathered all of the necessary things ahead of time.” This got me to thinking and I’ve been having fun thinking about it, and I’m curious what different kinds of answers maybe others might have for it -

What equivalents are there of this in digital spaces?

    Doing your research beforehand instead of diving in and working it out as you go (extends beyond the digital space as well). Probably less fun, but far more efficient, bop those known unknowns people.

    “I should have gathered all of the necessary things ahead of time.”

    Also known as a staging area.
