Step by step

Tips

• Cheap consumables beat expensive improvisations.
• Finish sessions at a natural stopping point so restarting is easy.

Common mistakes

• Confusing activity with progress — track outputs, not hours.
• Quitting during the inevitable plateau instead of scheduling through it.

FAQ

Do I need special equipment?

No. The lists above stick to essentials. Upgrade only after the basic version works and you know which limitation actually bothers you.

What if I get stuck?

Return to the last verified checkpoint and redo the failing step slowly. If it still fails, search for the exact error or symptom rather than the general task.

How long does this take?

Most people finish the core steps in one focused session. First-timers should double the estimate and add a break halfway.
