My garage organization trick works for packing too
Sorting items by use, like I do with my tools, makes my suitcase more efficient. This way, I avoid checked bag fees and have everything I need handy.

Consider building a "critical use" section based on how a workshop first aid kit works. Designate one small pouch for absolute essentials you'd need in the first 30 minutes anywhere, like a phone charger or meds. That pouch stays buried in the same spot every time, so you never panic searching. The rest of the bag gets organized around that core.

What happens when your critical pouch is the one thing you forget to repack after using it? Now you're just panicking with extra steps.
