embraced my inner Didion and wrote down everything I wanted to pack for my honeymoon. it's weird to think of a list as "writing" but it definitely taps into a similar sensation. it's another form of character portrait. wrote about it for this week's newsletter.

I love this idea of having a packing list taped to your wardrobe (and having the kind of life that warrants it)
I make a packing list for every trip I go on but since I started travelling hand luggage only I've got my packing list down. Something very satisfying about packing and folding everything and finding the most efficient way to do it. I've accumulated so many packing tips that make packing small easy so I'm gonna rec that tomorrow!!

π§³I'm seeing a lot of posts from fans of lists --- one of my personal fav lists is my lists of packing lists AKA keeping all your packing lists in one organized notes app note, and noting the location, length of trip, and time of year
If you are feeling really overachievey, you can even annotate post-trip what items were either excessive or missing (best done in italics)
It's so useful to not have to start from scratch each trip, and also not make the same packing mistakes π

Most prompted journals give heterosexual wedding invitation and feel insulting, as if I can't title a blank page with "Thoughts" or "Steps to Goal" or "Joy List" myself. (And the notebooks that say "notebook" on the outside? Ahh!)
But Moon Lists is intentional with the prompts and the design. Prompts like "Where do you instinctively return each summer, whether physically or mentally, real or imagined?" or "What desire for change is becoming unavoidably apparent?"βdelicious! Instead of a teacher throwing busy work at you, it feels like someone holding your hand and walking you through the field of your own thoughts.

πWhat happens behind the wheel is, frankly, none of my business. I'd rather spend my time picking songs/sipping coffee/taking in the scene.
Driving is so pedestrian.
