i'm not there yet, but this is where im at!!

Ok so I'm having a lot of fun cooking/baking lately!!! I have been figuring out more how to improvise, im getting more familiar with foods and which flavors go together so when im cooking sometimes i will get an idea to put something else in that wasn't part of the recipe but thought it would be good and for the most part it works out so that's been a lot of fun! also i have been inventing recipes too i have only done it a few times but its a blast!( im hoping to one day be more confident with stuff like this because its fun) But there is just a few things i can't figure out. How is it that people on all the cooking shows i watch and trust me i watch my fare share of them..i record them on our DVR and watch them at like 11:00 at night while at the same time trying to get my homework done. Anyways so what i can't figure out is how they can keep their kitchen so clean when they cook and still cook really fast. i know they kinda fast forward through a lot of the stuff but really it still doesn't take them that long to make their stuff and their kitchen is still way clean by the time they are done. I just can't figure that out. For me either my kitchen looks like a tornado went through it or if i try and clean as i go whatever i make takes ten times longer to make it . So this is my next goal in life....to figure out how to cook fast and still have a normal looking kitchen when i'm done. So if anyone has any insights on how to make this happen feel free to share.
