Planning tips for this checklist
Start with the packing purpose
A packing template changes depending on whether it is for a flight, road trip, move, school, event, carry-on, or day bag. Name the purpose first so the tasks stay relevant.
Separate must-have items
Documents, medication, keys, wallet, tickets, charger, and emergency contacts should be easy to find. Put critical items in their own section before adding clothes or optional gear.
Use a final sweep list
Most forgotten items live in bathrooms, outlets, drawers, closets, refrigerators, and entry tables. Add a final sweep section and check it after the main packing is done.
