If you are a mom traveling with kids, you probably have an oversized travel purse with a gazillion compartments.
If you are traveling without kids, you may still have a travel purse with a gazillion compartments.
How do you keep track of what you put in each compartment? How do you know where your passport and your boarding pass are? Need some aspirin or some lip gloss? Which zippered slot is it in?
Any idea where you put your snacks? You could search for days and still not find what you were looking for…right?
For starters, always keep your passport in the same spot. Same goes for your boarding pass. If it’s always in a certain spot, it will be easy to grab when you need it. Think about a bright pink folder or wallet that holds both. You’ll spot it easily, you can grab it easily, and it won’t get lost in the bottom of your bag.
Put things like lip gloss, hand wipes,and tissues in one spot. Use another compartment for snacks and aspirin.
Organize it so it makes sense to you. Then, do it the same way each time. Get a system and stick to it. It makes your carry on bag so much more efficient.
