What you need

Your current numbers or baseline
A simple tracking method

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

Working on the real thing before practicing on a throwaway copy.
Confusing activity with progress — track outputs, not hours.

FAQ

Can I adapt this to my situation?

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

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 do I maintain the result?

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