CVS ExtraCare Reminder I meant to write back sooner, but the week kept getting away from me and I only just sat down with enough quiet to answer properly.
I think your idea makes sense, especially if the goal is to keep things simple and easy to follow without turning it into a big production.
I would probably start small, see how it feels after a few days, and then adjust once there is a rhythm that actually works in real life.
That usually helps me avoid overcomplicating things at the beginning.
I also find it useful to leave a little room for changes because the first version is rarely the one that lasts.
If it helps, I can look over your plan later and tell you what seems clear and what feels confusing.
Sometimes another person notices the one step that needs smoothing out.
Either way, I think you are closer than you realize, and a light touch will probably get you there faster than trying to perfect every detail at once.

I tried your suggestion this morning, and it actually helped more than I expected because it made the whole task feel less scattered.
I had been jumping between too many small things and getting nowhere, so narrowing it down to one simple starting point was the right move.
After that, the rest felt much easier to sort through.
I still need a little time to finish the last part, but at least it doesn’t feel stuck anymore.
I also remembered what you said about giving myself a stopping point instead of dragging it out, and that made a real difference in my mood.
I’ll probably take another pass tomorrow with fresher eyes and see what still needs work.
If you’re around later in the week, maybe we can compare notes and see whether the current approach still makes sense.
I always appreciate how practical your advice is, especially when I’m overthinking something simple.
