FAQ
What time cap should I use?
Start conservative: 10–20 minutes if standing is hard, 20–30 minutes if moderate tolerance.
What if the line is “worth it”?
If it costs tomorrow, it’s not worth it. Use time swaps or reserve entries to keep meaning without the line tax.
How do I handle companion pressure?
Pre-agree: they can stay in line while you sit nearby. Meet at the entry if it moves quickly.
Is this medical advice?
No. Education + planning support only.
