How can you prevent overpacking when you travel? By doing this one thing every time.
After your trip, regardless of length, take a moment the following day to clean out your suitcase and review the clothes you brought. Ask yourself the following questions:
1. What didn’t I wear? Why?
2. What did I wear? Why did I wear it more?
3. Which items took up the most space in my suitcase and made closing difficult?
4. What do I wish I had with me?
5. What items do I need to replenish now?
By consistently completing this simple task after each trip and making notes on your phone or keeping a list in your suitcase, you’ll be better prepared for your next travel experience. This process helps you pack more efficiently and saves you from overpacking, making your travel experience more enjoyable.
Especially if you don’t travel consistently, it’s easy to forget what you need. Making notes on your phone or keeping a list in your suitcase makes packing more manageable because you’ll have a plan to refer back to.
Additionally, consider noting your eating experiences while traveling. Sometimes, we need to remind ourselves to avoid certain foods that don’t agree with us. Everyone’s different, but you can only learn from experience.
What’s your routine after you get home from a trip and unpack? Do you have any tips or tricks that help you pack more efficiently for your next trip?
