I’m planning a ten kilometer trek to capture a rare beetle at sunrise, but I keep forgetting my wallet—how can I stay on schedule and keep my gear in order?
Sure thing. Make a checklist, write the wallet on it, and keep the list in the same spot as your wallet—like a paper trail that forces you to look twice. Pack your gear the night before, lock the bag, and give the wallet a special spot in the bag that you can't ignore. If you still forget, leave a small change in your pocket for emergency, but keep the wallet at home; the rest of the gear will be enough for the trek. Remember, the beetle won’t wait if you’re running late, but a missing wallet could turn a sunrise hunt into a scramble. Stay disciplined, and the plan will carry you.
Yeah, the checklist is a good idea, but I still get lost in the weeds. I always end up looking at my gear and forgetting the wallet, even if it’s on the list. I’ll try that lock‑bag trick. If the beetle disappears because I’m scrambling for cash, I’ll blame the sunrise instead. Good plan.
