A way to record or capture your work
Consistency over gear

Step by step

Capture or record the attempt so improvement is visible later.
Copy a reference you admire exactly, paying attention to decisions rather than results.
Get one piece of specific feedback: compare against the reference and name one gap.
Attempt the real thing at small scale — short, finished pieces beat long abandoned ones.
Repeat tomorrow with that single gap as the focus.

Tips

Set a timer; scope grows to fill available time.
Keep a 'problems' list while working instead of fixing mid-flow.
The second rep is always faster — plan for it.

Common mistakes

Skipping the verification step because the first attempt looked fine.
Changing multiple variables between attempts, which makes failures unlearnable.
Using the wrong tool 'just this once' and damaging the part.

FAQ

How do I maintain the result?

Add the final maintenance step to a calendar. Ten minutes monthly prevents most regressions.

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.

Can I adapt this to my situation?

Yes — treat the steps as the skeleton. Keep the verification steps; customize everything else.
