Top Five Packing Tips for Panicked Packers

Are you a panicked packer who stresses out before a big trip? Do you worry about what to pack, how many of each item to pack, and even what bag to pack? As a professional organizer, I know how to organize and maximum space in that small carry-on bag.

Here’s a few quick tips that can make a huge difference to your packing routine before your next trip.

1. List each day you’ll be away, your activities for each day, and create a day-by-day packing list
2. Lay out every outfit you have for your trip including your bra, underwear, shoes, and jewelry to go with it. By drilling down into your outfit details, you’ll reduce stress around putting together that perfect outfit.
3. Try to pack at least 48 hours before your trip departure if not earlier! This gives you time to account for weather, issues with your clothes, and missing items.
4. Include a luggage tag inside the suitcase in case the outer one goes missing. It’s never fun to lose your luggage on vacation!
5. Always pack a bathing suit – trust me on this! You never know when you’re going to want to jump in the water or jacuzzi in your hotel.

The New York Times also has a great piece on what they see as the “right way to pack for travel.”
