Janice — this is such a calm, competence-inducing roundup. I really appreciate how you balance the tactical (credit cards, permits, Lightroom updates) with the human side of travel — the Gretchen Rubin episode and the postcard idea both feel like reminders that travel is meant to reduce friction, not add to it.
Also loved the quiet throughline around systems: paying cards on time, organizing points, editing smarter, not harder. It’s all in service of freeing up attention for the actual experience — which pairs perfectly with that closing note about memories being a smart use of time and money.
Always walk away from your letters feeling a little more grounded and a little more capable.
This is such a lovely, well-curated letter, Janice! Thank you for including my postcard piece. 💛 I love how you weave together practical travel tools with the emotional side of travel. Creating memories really is one of the best uses of our time and money. Love what you do. Thanks again, Janice!
