FAQ
How do I maintain the result?
Add the final maintenance step to a calendar. Ten minutes monthly prevents most regressions.
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.
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.
