Crowd the pan and nothing gets crispy. Trying to do everything at once is how everything turns out soggy.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Things need room to do what they are supposed to do. Pack too much in and everything lowers the temperature for everything else, so instead of several good results you get one mediocre one spread across the whole surface. Doing a lot at once is not the same as getting a lot done.

Look at your week and count what you are genuinely trying to do well. If it is more than three, something is steaming rather than browning. Take one thing off and give the rest actual space before you add anything new.
