What you did with the 2 chickens is similar to other things people can do to save time later. Whatever it is, the principle is the same: do it ahead of time upfront so that each day it's grab-and-go.
I'm thinking of doing that with posts: work on one big post which I break up into smaller posts to then get posted on a schedule. I haven't done this in a while, and I've never tried this including images (which is where I get hung up). I'll figure it out, but there will be trial-and-error along the way.

When it comes to creating content, we call it "batching" - you make a whole batch of posts, and then drip them out.
I kept going after the chickens. I made a bunch of breakfast muffins too and a huge lunch soup.
I used to worry about them eating the same thing for days but I'd rather have them eat nutritious food that is exactly the same as yesterdays, than end up at the fast-food drive through.
Batching posts-- that's actually what I was going to do from Day 1 before I discovered that dirty little secret of Resource Credits. I think I'll batch a bit more before I resume posting.
I have a post I want to publish; all that's missing is the cover image. For this batch of posts I'll just simplify the image rather than attempt something that will take me a long time. Then I'll schedule each part.
Some posts I can crank out quickly, but anything involving spreadsheets need to be batched just because of the time involved getting the screenshots to match the instructions. Likewise anything involving even basic coding showing CSS in action.
Going the other way, I'll also need to batch some short-form content Things like charts take me too long to do, and I'm waiting to get credentials to be able to access the HiveSQL database. I can do something like haiku but instead of nature the topic is crypto or financial.
I can always scrape together a number of links featuring other people's older content to make a daily post series, but I don't know if the community frowns on those sorts of posts. If anything, it gets engagement going so for that reason alone I would try that.

One of our daily writers - taskmaster, uses the same images over and over.
Canva is free, and you can make a header there - then you don't have to worry about images anymore.
If you'd like to write about HiveSQL Database and what it is, I would love to read it.
I will write about HiveSQL, for sure. At the moment I'm waiting to get access to it. My interest in it is to download blockchain data pertaining to me so I can then sift through it to find content I can use for spreadsheet posts. Although blockchain explorers exist for this purpose, going back further than 7 days is too painful a task.
However, there are other queries I can make which would be of interest to everyone:
I'm not looking to make any application, but I want more insight for those times I have questions about my own data. After that, who knows where things will take me?

You can already check the HiveSQL documentation to learn more about it.
There is a resources section that links to several interesting Hive users' posts about HiveSQL.
