The Technobedouin Manual: Preparing luggage

Preparing luggage is an art form in itself. Take too little with you and being on the road gets tiring before you know it. Take too much and you find yourself paying for excess luggage.

If you have never made a list of required luggage before, it’s time to start now. The exercise will save you an enormous amount of time and money, which you might have to spend in replacing things you forgot. The list is easy to compile next time you are preparing your luggage. You can keep on adding to and modifying it according to different type of trips (summer, winter, business, holidays).

I started my list in 2001 and, being the statistics wizard that I am, in 2005 I started noting down the trips on which I have used the list. Thanks to my list, I have successfully avoided forgetting my toothbrush, passport, mobile phone charger and many other indispensable items in at least 50 packing occasions during the last two and a half years.

You can store your list on your mobile phone where it’s always handy, easy to find and modify. As an extra bonus, with a list preparing your luggage will be quick and easy to manage, as you only need to follow the list and throw things in your bags.

That’s the handy tip of the week, folks!
