I meant to reply sooner, but I wanted to think about your question first.
I’d go with the simpler option because it usually keeps the day easier, and I’ve noticed I feel better when I leave a little room between plans. If everything is stacked too tightly, I start rushing and then I stop enjoying any of it.
I also think it helps to decide one thing ahead of time and let the rest stay flexible. That way, if the weather changes or somebody runs late, nothing feels thrown off. I’ve been trying to do that more lately, especially on busy weeks, and it has made ordinary things feel calmer.
If you want, I can help sort it out tonight. I’m around later, and I don’t mind talking it through for a few minutes to make it easier.

I think the part that helped most was starting earlier than I wanted to.
Whenever I put something off, I imagine I’m saving energy, but it usually has the opposite effect because the unfinished thing sits in the background all day. Once I finally begin, it turns out to be much less complicated than I built up in my head.
I’d probably keep the plan loose and aim for steady progress instead of trying to do everything perfectly at once. A small start usually gives me enough momentum to keep going, and then I don’t have to depend on feeling especially motivated. That has been more reliable for me than waiting for the ideal mood.
If you have a draft, send it over when you’re ready. I’m happy to look at it and tell you what stands out, especially if you just want a quick second opinion before you move on.
