FAQ

How do I maintain the result?

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

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.

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.
