Costco Wholesale Membership Notice

I meant to reply earlier, but the afternoon got busier than I expected and I kept switching between tasks.
I did look over the notes you sent, and I think the simplest route is still the best one.
If it were me, I would keep the plan easy to manage instead of trying to do every idea at once.
That usually feels exciting at first, then it turns messy and hard to keep going.
I have found that giving myself one clear thing to finish by the end of the day makes everything feel lighter.
Also, I would not overthink the timing too much because a steady approach matters more than picking a perfect moment.
If you want, send me the updated version later and I can glance through it tonight.
I am around after dinner and should have a quieter hour then.
Either way, I think you are closer than you think, and it probably only needs a few small changes to feel right.

Costco Wholesale membership communications are intended to keep members informed of status-related updates and available continuation options.

Please review the linked details for the latest information regarding this membership extension notice.

I was thinking about your question this morning while I was out for a walk, and I honestly think you are being a little too hard on yourself.
From what you described, nothing sounds especially off track, just unfinished in the normal way that most things are before they settle into place.
I usually hit that same point where I assume I should have it all figured out, but really I just need a short break and a clearer list.
One thing that helps me is writing down only three tasks and ignoring everything else until those are done.
It makes the day feel calmer and keeps me from bouncing around too much.
If you want another perspective, I can look at what you have tomorrow afternoon because my schedule is more open then.
I may not have the perfect answer, but I am good at noticing the one or two edits that make everything click.
Let me know what you decide, and do not stay up too late trying to sort it all out tonight.
