I meant to answer sooner, but I wanted to test it twice before saying anything. I tried the simpler route first, and it worked better than I expected.
What helped most was keeping the list short and doing one thing at a time instead of switching back and forth. Once I stopped overthinking it, the whole thing felt lighter and much easier to finish.
If you are still deciding, I would start with the version that needs the least setup. That gives you room to adjust later without having to undo a bunch of extra steps. I also found that doing it in the morning made me less distracted, which probably made the result look more organized than it really was.
Send me a note if you want a quick second opinion. I am happy to look at what you have and point out anything that seems unclear.

I finally had time last night to go through the steps carefully, and I think the confusion came from trying to fix everything at once.
When I slowed down, I noticed the small parts mattered more than the big choice. I started by clearing the extra clutter, then I wrote down what actually needed attention. That made the whole thing seem much more manageable.
I also discovered that I get stuck whenever I wait for the perfect plan. It goes better when I just pick a reasonable starting point and make small corrections as I go. By the end, it felt steadier and less frustrating than before.
If you want, send over the version you are leaning toward and I can tell you what stands out first. I am not an expert, but I am good at spotting the part that is making things feel harder than they need to be.
