Walmart Rewards Reminder

I meant to reply sooner, but I wanted to try it a few more times before saying anything definite.

I think the easiest way to handle it is to keep the first version simple and let the rest settle in later. Once I stopped changing every little detail, it actually started to feel more natural and less forced. That was the part I was missing before.

I also noticed that taking a short break helped more than pushing through. When I came back to it the next morning, the problem looked smaller and I could tell what needed to stay and what was just clutter. It was mostly a matter of clearing space and not overthinking the tiny choices.

If you want, send over the latest version when you have a minute. I am happy to look at it again and tell you what stands out right away. Usually that first reaction is the most useful and it saves a lot of back and forth.

This is a reminder regarding an active rewards balance nearing expiration.

I finally tried the approach you suggested, and it worked better once I stopped rushing through the setup.

At first I thought the whole issue came from one obvious mistake, but it was really a series of small things stacking up. After I slowed down and checked each part one by one, it started making sense. The main fix was keeping the steps in the right order and not jumping ahead just because I felt impatient.

I would say the biggest improvement came from writing everything down before I started again. That gave me a cleaner plan and helped me avoid repeating the same habits. It also made it easier to notice what actually changed between attempts instead of relying on memory.

If you are still working on yours tonight, take a pause before the final pass and read it fresh. That one break seems to make the biggest difference for me, and I catch details much faster after even a short reset.
