Simple to do lists for a happy day
This week I’m on one of my regular interstate trips to visit family, and loving how the simple lists I prepared earlier are making things easier.

The project page for this trip follows a template with these headers:
- Title: YYYY-MM-DD
- Links to external files (created with Hookmark)
- Tasks: Before leaving, While there
- Travel details
- Expenditure summary
- Activities
- Packing list
- Lessons learned
