The festival playbook
Most festival stress comes from doing the right things in the wrong order. Here’s the sequence that works.
Anything tailored or shipped needs this much runway. Decide now, not later.
Gifts are where people panic. Get the list down on paper early.
Deep clean first, decorate second. Doing it the other way round means doing it twice.
Everything’s done. Now be present for it instead of running errands.
