This gives me such a picture into the whole process for you! The walkthrough of "grab three unrelated things" was hilarious.

Idk who “they” are but I have some questions for them. I am 100% buying myself a couple books and having them shipped to the destination of our August family trip alongside the diapers, wipes, etc.

LOVED this, Lisa! I feel like I’m inside your head and I was delighted by all the details.

I also get so frustrated that I can’t pack EVERYTHING so why start. I firmly fall in camp #2 and happily make a new list each time. It never occurred to me that making a new list would be inefficient 🤣, but I’m glad you assuaged my guilt about it in the next line.

I chuckled at “Big projects get completed one bite at a time, right?)” is anyone craving a cookie?

Thanks for the advice/options/distraction!

I love “writing the lists was actually the fun part”!! Cracked me up, so true for me. All the prep and none of the do. 🥰 All of these tips are really valuable! Thank you!
