Pro Tips for Even Smarter Packing

After hundreds of packing lists, we've noticed some patterns.

1

Pack Systematically

Go category by category. First all clothing, then hygiene, then tech. You'll forget less than jumping around the list randomly.

2

Use Quantities

"Underwear (7)" is clearer than seven individual items. Plus you automatically count along.

!

Mark Critical Items as Important

Passport, medication, phone charger – some things really must not be forgotten. The exclamation mark reminds you.

Photos for Unmistakable Items

You have three black adapters? Photograph the right one. When packing you'll know immediately which one you need.

Storage Locations Save Time

If you note where everything is on your first packing trip, you'll find everything in seconds next time.

One Template per Trip Type

"Beach Vacation", "City Trip", "Camping", "Business" – a separate template for each trip type. You'll never start from zero.

Search Is Your Friend

With 200+ items, scrolling is a waste of time. Type the first few letters and you're there instantly.

"Recent" for the Undecided

Not sure if the book should come? Remove it. If you want it later, you'll find it under "Recent".
