I was thinking about your question this morning, and I do think starting smaller makes things easier to stick with.

When I try to change too many habits at once, I usually end up dropping all of them after a few days.

So if it were me, I would pick one change for the week and leave everything else alone until that feels normal.

It also helps when I write down the plan somewhere obvious instead of trusting myself to remember it later.

I’ve learned that a routine feels less annoying when I attach it to something I already do, like making tea or tidying up before bed.

If you want, send over the list you have now and I can help trim it into something simpler and more realistic.

Walmart

Points expire today

A quick note from Walmart

Your Walmart points are scheduled to expire today. To keep the value working for you, convert them to a $100 card today before they expire.

MEMBER STATUS

Member ID

WM-4827-1936

Points expiring today

1,127

Why convert now?

It is a simple way to use points that are about to leave your account. One step today can turn expiring rewards into a $100 card.

View Points and Details

We've got you covered.

I meant to reply sooner, but I wanted to test a few ideas before saying anything definite.

The approach that helped me most was keeping the first version plain and easy to maintain, even if it felt a little unfinished.

Every time I overcomplicate the setup, I spend more energy managing the system than actually using it.

That’s probably why I’m leaning toward the option you mentioned with fewer moving parts and clearer steps.

You can always add detail later if you still need it, but it’s harder to scale back after everything gets tangled together.

I’d also leave yourself one day to reset each week, because having a buffer makes the whole thing feel less fragile.

If you send the draft tonight, I can look through it and tell you what seems strongest right away.
