There is a learning curve to maintaining sourdough culture as well as using it in your baking. When you read a recipe or method that includes a time span that's 8 - 12 hours, try to do this step at night. While you get your rest the sourdough will do it's part and you'll both be ready to bake in the morning. Best to you and your sourdough as you work it into your schedule - not become a slave to it!
