I meant to reply sooner, but I wanted to test that little method before suggesting it.
I finally tried it this morning, and it turned out to be much easier once I stopped overthinking the setup.
What helped most was doing the first part slowly, then stepping away for a few minutes before checking everything again.
I know that sounds obvious, but that break made me notice the one detail I would have skipped.
If you try it tonight, keep the space around you a bit calmer and give yourself extra room on the table.
I also found it better to finish one small section completely instead of jumping around.
Let me know how it goes when you have a minute, because I think your approach might end up being even better than mine once you get started and settle into it.

Thank you for being part of ExtraCare with CVS.
I was thinking about your question from earlier, and honestly I would keep it simple the first time.
When I tried something similar, I got stuck because I kept comparing every option instead of just choosing one and seeing how it felt.
Once I gave myself permission to make a rough attempt, everything moved faster and felt much less frustrating.
You probably already have most of what you need, so I would arrange things ahead of time and leave a little breathing room between each step.
It also helps to write down the order on a scrap of paper so you do not have to rely on memory when you are halfway through.
If you want, send me a quick note after you try it and I can help you adjust the parts that feel awkward.
I really think it will click once you begin.
