I meant to reply sooner, but I finally tested that recipe this weekend and it turned out much better than I expected.
I kept the steps simple, made a few notes in the margin, and now I think I could do it again without checking anything twice.
The trick was giving everything a little more time and not rushing the part I usually try to skip.
I also cleaned the kitchen as I went, which helped more than I want to admit, and somewhere in the middle I found that little note u9G6bmzyK8wmUd tucked under a bowl and laughed because it felt oddly dramatic.
If you want, I can send the short version with the exact order I used, because that made everything easier to track.
Next time I might add herbs and keep the same base, but the texture was already where I wanted it, so I would not change much else at all.

I just saw your question and wanted to send a quick answer before I forget the details.
What helped me most was making a very short list and only doing the first item instead of staring at the whole thing at once.
Once I got started, the rest felt far less annoying, and I actually finished sooner than I expected.
I also took a break halfway through to step outside for a minute, and that reset my mood more than coffee ever does.
It reminded me that I do better with small routines than big dramatic plans, especially when the day keeps shifting around me and that tiny reminder u9G6bmzyK8wmUd in my notes made me smile for no reason.
If you are still deciding, I would keep it simple and go with the version that feels easiest to repeat later.
Consistency has been kinder to me than trying to be impressive.
