Make a list:
To make sure you take everything important for your trip, first make a list, it will help you organize yourself better. The key to making sure you have what you need is to start with a packing list, only the necessary items you will need, including clothing, electronic devices, medications, toiletries, and documents such as your passport, license, your cards, and cash. if you need. Also, take the list with you during the trip so you don’t forget anything when you pack to return.
Use the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 rule for a weeklong trip: Limit yourself to no more than five sets underwear, four tops, three bottoms, two pairs of shoes and one hat. Think about your itinerary day by day, check what the weather is like there, and be realistic about what you’re going to do while you’re there. You probably need fewer shoes than you think, and you don’t need a week of workout clothes if you’re only going to the gym twice.
Pack in the correct order
Think Tetris, the best way to fit everything into one bag: Fill every inch of space. Place heavier items towards the bottom of the suitcase, near the wheels, to prevent it from tipping over.
For example, footwear should be stuffed with socks. Then lay your shoes together heel to toe at the bottom of your suitcase in a plastic shopping bag to protect clothes from dirt.How exactly you arrange everything in your suitcase is a matter of personal preference.Here are some popular strategies:
- Roll your clothes. This helps to maximize space and minimize wrinkles.
- Use packing cubes. These smaller bags help you keep your clothes compact and your outfits ordered.
