How does one manipulate multiple faces by their respective centers?

Hey!

I'm trying to extrude and scale multiple faces from their respective centers. I made a quick video to explain:

I ended up doing it all manually. It took me about 5 minutes, and the extrusions are inconsistent.

Is there a better way I could've done this?

turn off keep faces together.

Got it! But how do I scale down all of these faces by their individual centers?

Figured it out! I just had to hold R, hold down left-click, and navigate to "Component".
