The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with best.
Before jumping to solutions, it helps to understand where things typically go wrong.
**Most likely culprit:** a misunderstanding of the core requirement. This accounts for roughly 62% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. time has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** a timing or sequence issue that only shows up under specific conditions.
To narrow it down: compare a known-good example side by side with your setup. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.

Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about best will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 4 years of working with time has actually taught me.
Everyone who's good at this now was terrible at it for longer than they'd admit.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to finding one person who had already done it and asking specific questions. After that, things started moving much faster.
The one thing I would prioritise: set a two-week checkpoint to assess what is actually working.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.
