This person shows the prep to bake schedule but I think she makes a levain that is not big enough for any of my recipes, but you get the idea of what she is doing.

The person that does this video is kind of quick, most of her videos are shorts, but she has a whole lot of techniques to share. This video here is Very Informative. I have paused and replayed several parts over and over.

Here is a list of links to the items that I use daily in my sourdough maintenance. You don't Have to use these exact items but it gives you an idea of what kind of equipment will make this maintaining thing easier for you. These are all mostly Starter Maintenance Items. Some of which you will use while making recipes with the starters.
Water pitcher to pour water into cup on scale to get the right weight of water. Using the whisk slowly to mix water to starter.
Paper plates to put on scale to measure the right amount of flour on and use by folding to pour flour into starter and water mixture. Again using whisk slowly to mix flour into starter/water mixture. Start in the middle and slowly bring in the flour from the outside edge.
