The sill is not a storage shelf
The sill is not a storage shelf. What is in front of you is a window a plant needs.
Do it in order
Handle it this way: keep bottles and cups off the soil. Wash the tool when you move to the next plant.
The usual miss
People lose cuttings and seedlings to a sill used as a shelf above a pot. Slow down there.
Finished means the soil surface is clear. If you are guessing, water less than you want to and look again tomorrow.
This sits in "Windowsills", written as a garden note rather than a catalog.
A garden note, not a promise that a plant will thrive. Look again in a week.
