My packing list for a 3 month trip used to be a total mess

Honestly, I used to just throw stuff in a bag the night before a flight and hope for the best. Tbh, I'd always forget chargers or pack way too many shoes. Ngl, after a rough start in Lisbon last year where I had to buy a whole new adapter, I made a change. Now I keep a Google Sheet with a master list, broken down by tech, clothes, and docs. I update it after every trip and it saves me so much stress. Has anyone else found a good system for this, or do you just wing it?

It's not just about packing, it's about how we handle small repeated tasks. A simple system for something you do often saves more energy than it costs. That Lisbon moment was a breaking point, and those are what push us to get organized. The sheet seems like a lot upfront, but the peace of mind later is the real win. It's the same reason I finally put a key hook by the door.

Wait, @terry_bailey35, you think a simple Google Sheet is a lot of work?

A Google Sheet for a weekend trip seems like a lot of work.
