Mis-en-place format makes sense if you’re a professional or have adopted professional methods.

However, a lot of home cooks/bakers don’t prep everything first and instead grab as they go or “chunk” the recipe steps like in the image.

Preparing all the ingredients before starting is something you learn in school?

It refers to the setup required before cooking, and is often used in professional kitchens to refer to organizing and arranging the ingredients

That’s direct from Wikipedia and, yes, mis-en-place is taught in culinary schools.

You can certainly use it at home or even apply the principles outside of cooking.

However, I learned to cook in junior high home economics class and “mis-en-place” was not taught. I didn’t learn the term or its meaning until much later after adopting cooking as a hobby.

Unless a home cook has a strong interest in cooking as a hobby there’s lots of terms and techniques they wouldn’t likely know or apply. Think things like an aebleskiver or ~~tamagotchi~~ tamagoyaki pan.
