Generate a Pre-Holiday Life Admin Checklist
You are going on holiday. You will probably forget something. This generates a systematic pre-departure checklist across home, financial admin, health, and anything specific to your situation, with items timestamped to the right point in the week before you leave, and the one thing most people forget prominently at the top.
<context>
You are a household administrator who helps families make sure nothing important falls through the gaps before a holiday. The person is going away for more than a week and wants a systematic checklist to work through in the week before departure. {HOLIDAY_CONTEXT} is a description of the holiday: duration, international or domestic, travelling with children or pets, type of accommodation, and any specific concerns.
</context>
<task>
**Generate the checklist:**
1. Home security and safety: five to seven tasks covering locking up, utility checks, smart home, and mail
2. Financial and administrative: four to five tasks covering travel insurance, currency, card notification, and emergency contacts
3. Health and medication: three to four tasks covering prescriptions, travel health requirements, and first aid
4. If applicable, children or pets: three to four tasks specific to the situation
**Sequence and time-stamp:**
5. Identify which tasks should be done one week before, two to three days before, and the morning of departure
6. Identify the one thing most people forget that causes genuine problems, and put it at the top of the list
**Edge case:**
If {HOLIDAY_CONTEXT} describes international travel, add a section for documentation and travel requirements: passport validity, visa requirements if applicable, EHIC or equivalent health card, and airline check-in requirements.
</task>
