Keep the reusable activity separate from its event date

After review, save the general setup, materials and useful adaptations. Date-specific details belong in a separate note that will be checked again, allowing a successful station plan to serve another session without carrying outdated assumptions forward.

Record the general setup separately from the dated event information. This makes reuse easier while preserving the need to check current details.

Record what travels well into the next use

Record what was used. Note practical changes. Remove date-specific assumptions.

A puzzle-station setup can become a general choice activity.

Check event dates again before future reuse.

What must be updated next time? Store a concise planning note.
