Forgetting something to pack, especially if it's important, can ruin your trip. This is a risk that's easy to avoid if you follow a simple method for packing without forgetting anything essential. The key is not to pack by heart, but to follow a consistent order to avoid mistakes, dividing items into categories from the beginning (clothes, shoes, beauty products, medications).
At this point you can pack your suitcase the right way.
- Prepare your bag or suitcase the night beforeYou'll have more time and more time to pack everything you need, and you won't be rushed to leave the house without your bags packed and ready.
- Prepare everything outside your suitcase first. This way you can see what's missing and, above all, avoid forgetting things already scattered around the house.
- Always write down on a piece of paper, and then tick off the various objects, The essentials you absolutely can't forget: documents, cell phone, cell phone charger, credit card, bathroom toiletries.
- When you pack clothes in your suitcase, imagine getting dressed, and starting from socks to get, one by one, to every single item of clothing needed during the trip. Before finally closing the suitcase Or your bag, do a quick final check, even just by looking if your bag is small. This organized, non-haphazard reconstruction will also help you avoid wasting space in your luggage with things you most likely won't wear.
- Leave a note with the list of things you absolutely must bring in an area where no one in the house can get their hands on. With you. Your computer, your cell phone charger, a book to read, your medicine, some documents and papers for work, your wallet, etc. The right place might be on the table where you have breakfast before going out, next to the cup for milk, tea, or coffee, or in a spot in the kitchen or living room where no one will displace the note or any items you need to pack when you leave the house.
- Don't leave items you absolutely must take with you scattered around.Some in the jacket you wore the night before leaving, others prominently on the bedside table, and still others scattered around the house: you are unwittingly creating the conditions for forgetting something.
- A final check, at least mentally, before you head out of the house, is not wasted time.
A little trick can be useful : keep a checklist saved on your phone and reuse it for each trip, instead of starting from scratch each time.
