My old boss in Denver told me to always sharpen my boning knife after every single hog breakdown, and after a decade of ignoring him, I finally tried it for a week and the difference in clean cuts is insane.

Has anyone else found a piece of stubborn advice that you finally caved on and it actually worked out?

That "stubborn advice" thing is so true. A friend who bakes kept ignoring her mentor's rule to weigh flour, not scoop it. She swore the difference was small until her cakes kept coming out dense. After a month of weighing, her textures got so much better, like night and day. It reminds me of what @mason.margaret said about tire pressure, just a small habit that fixes a big headache.

My dad's advice about checking tire pressure monthly finally clicked last winter.
