How This Goes Well

This one isn't about logistics. It's about the people. Structure isn't the opposite of love — sometimes it's how love survives a hard week.

• •One person is the decision-maker — and that's a gift, not a slight. It keeps the process from stalling.
• •The system only works if everyone uses it. One person freelancing breaks it for everyone.
• •Nothing leaves without everyone knowing.
• •Informal promises are conversations, not transfers. Write down who gets what, with a date.
• •The space has a map — use it. Talk in zones and colors, not vague gestures.
• •Your role is your role. Decide what's yours to decide and let others own theirs.
• •Disagreements happen — here's where they go: to the decision-maker, against the same written plan everyone can see.

When you're standing in a space that belonged to someone you loved, the clean rules feel far away. That's not a failure of preparation. That's just what this is.
