inI now salt my chicken a full day before cooking
Absolutely. Started doing overnight dry brines last year and it's a complete game changer. The texture is completely different, way juicier even if you accidentally overcook it a bit.

inUpdate: That jam-packed train won me over
Honestly, figuring out the small stuff makes a huge difference. Try to grab the same door to board each day, and you'll start to see the same people holding it. Find a coffee shop near your exit to make the walk feel like a tiny reward. That spot by the window, third car from the front, is always my first pick now.

inMy cookie dough taught me to chill out
Spot on, @ray_chen. Overnight chilling does wonders for texture. The butter firms up completely and the flavors meld together. Cookies come out with a perfect snap and less greasy feel. Trust the process and plan ahead next bake.

Isn't the main job to stop the soil and gravel from mixing, not hold them in place? They let water through while keeping the layers separate.
