We used to be the kind people who packed at the last minute for everyone.
Our weekends were chaotic at best: juggling family life, trying to make time for self-care, and somehow squeezing in quick adventure whenever possible. But every time we went on a trip—whether it was camping, hiking, or just a spontaneous day out—we felt like we were carrying mental tabs instead of memories.
Did I pack the snacks? Where’s the sunscreen? Do we need to make our own coffee, again?
One weekend, after forgetting half our food and realizing our water bottles were still sitting on the kitchen counter, we hit a wall. That trip was supposed to be our reset. Instead, it was just another list of things that went wrong.
That’s when I realized—I didn’t need more stuff. I needed a system.
