I got significantly better at brewing beer.

I make my own Greek yogurt now. I like it much better than store-bought.

I improved in two languages. I'm not great at either but they've helped me build rapport with work colleagues and have come in handy while traveling.

I finished a master's degree and all the skills that entails.

Can you give me some guide/steps.

I always wanted to try greek yogurt because its high in protien and nutrients, but it’s very hard to find it in stores where i live..

Getting an instapot was the difference maker. It made it a setup-and-walkaway operation. It's also very easy to sanitize first, running a quick boil cycle with just water

And then I figured out less starter results in a thicker yogurt on the "Greek" end. It was counterintuitive, at first; I thought "more starter" = stronger end result = "Greek", but that was not the case.

6-8 hours gives me a milder yogurt, while 8-10 hours gives me a tarter yogurt that I like for smoothies.
