You wait until the last minute
If you wait until the last minute, you will be stressed and will tend to pack only unnecessary things or forget about the ones that are actually important. Thus, if you plan your vacation in advance, try to do the same with your luggage – so you can create a list to write down what you need to take with you.
“Then you’re stressed and can’t think clearly, so you end up packing too many options and don’t have what you need,” says Dacy Gillespie, a St.Louis-based personal stylist, who runs mindfulcloset.com.
