I’ve often written about packing lists and how I like them. I live by them when traveling. It just makes my life easier.
That being said, what happens when you have your list and you’re looking for the one piece of electronic charging equipment, or universal adapter, or special socks you only wear with your travel shoes, or the really nice, silky top that doesn’t wrinkle…ever, or your cool travel pen?
Perhaps if you kept your travel items together it would help. Or would it? It depends on how often you travel. If you go often, it might be a good idea to keep a dedicated set of toiletries in their own travel bag. It might be a good idea to keep one part of your closet for travel clothes.
Do you have certain bags for traveling domestic versus internationally? Do you have them stuffed inside each other and forget about the ones inside? How about wallets, purses, packing cubes, special electronics you use when traveling to Europe, or even pens?
Organizing these could make your life easier. First…a list. Then…organization. Ready to go somewhere? I am.
