Review the trip so the next one is better

A few days after getting home, while you still remember what annoyed you.

Help me review the trip I have just taken, so I plan better next time.

Ask me about each of these in turn, one at a time, and tell me what my answer implies before moving on:
1. Which day was the best, and what specifically made it so?
2. What did I do because I felt I should, and would I do it again?
3. Where did I lose time, money or patience unnecessarily?
4. What did I pack and not use? What did I wish I had?
5. Was the pace right? At what point did I get tired of it?

At the end, write me a short list headed "Rules for next time", in my own words, specific enough to act on. No more than six. Do not soften my complaints into lessons about gratitude.

The trip:

Making it yours

  • Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
  • Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
  • If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.

During and after the trip. Layovers, days that fall through, what is worth doing nearby, and writing it down afterwards.
