  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Funny, I think I'm the opposite. "Oh shit, we're leaving tomorrow, what should I pack?"

I've got it down to a science so I can procrastinate until the night before:

  • How many days? That many pairs of socks, underwear, and shirts, half that many pairs of pants. 2 additional pairs of socks and an extra shirt
  • Deodorant
  • Check to make sure the dedicated travel phone charger is still packed
  • Notebook
  • Laptop and charger dedicated to travel
  • A book that's easy to pickup and set down
  • Corded headphones
  • Dedicated laundry bag for trips longer than 10 days
  • Bring a toothbrush for trips longer than 3 days
  • Bedding, soap, and shampoo only when traveling to the wilderness

I like to travel as light as I can and most of my trips are for a week or less, so oftentimes the only thing I need for luggage is a single carryon bag

... If it's three days or less, do you just not brush your teeth?

I carry some disposable pre-pasted brushes instead

I just have a toiletry bag with a collapsible toothbrush and toothpaste tablets. I pretty much always bring the same toiletries on any trip to keep it easy.
