I recently attended the annual conference of the National Association of Professional Organizers which was held in Orlando. (It was a fantastic conference, by the way). As I was preparing for the trip, I made my usual list of things to pack so I wouldn’t leave anything important behind. For this trip, however, I put my list on the computer and saved it. Why create a new list every time I go on a trip? I take the same basic items each time anyway. I am always trying to simplify my life and I am glad to share what works for me. Feel free to copy and paste and change it to fit your needs.
Happy packing!
