Ace Hardware Member Update

I was thinking about your question this morning, and I do think the simpler plan makes more sense for now.
If the goal is just to keep things easy to manage, then starting small gives us room to adjust without feeling boxed in later.
I usually regret it when I add too many moving parts too early, especially when I have not even seen how the routine feels in real life.
That was kind of my experience last month, where I tried to organize everything at once and then stopped halfway through because it became annoying.
I would rather begin with a basic version, see what actually sticks, and then improve it gradually.
If you want, I can send over a short checklist tonight after I finish the rest of my errands.
I am around later anyway, so it would not be hard to put together something straightforward and useful.

I ended up trying that new route yesterday, and it was actually much less confusing than I expected.
The signs were clearer once I got near the park, and after the first turn it mostly unfolded on its own.
I think the biggest problem before was that I was checking directions too often and second guessing every corner.
When I finally stopped doing that, everything went more smoothly and I got there feeling weirdly relaxed.
If you want to do the same thing this weekend, I would leave a little earlier just so there is no rush at the start.
Also, bring a light sweater because the shade near the trees makes it cooler than it seems at home.
I stayed longer than I planned because it turned into one of those afternoons that feels easy and calm.
Next time I can meet you nearby so the whole thing feels less like a project and more like a simple outing.
