FAQ
How do I maintain the result?
Add the final maintenance step to a calendar. Ten minutes monthly prevents most regressions.
Can I adapt this to my situation?
Yes — treat the steps as the skeleton. Keep the verification steps; customize everything else.
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.
