A couple months ago I did a very systematic, possibly criminally nerdy overhaul of my whole packing situation. A label maker and packing cubes and diagrams were involved. It has already paid off. So much less stressful packing for a work trip now.
The biggest improvement is having a complete set of travel duplicates for all my hair and beauty crap. It was such a hassle with COVId (and not cheap) but now my bag is always packed with every essential I need. I just throw underwear and clothes in the bag.
I even keep a set of workout clothes and shoes in the bag. That was a big deal, too. I guess I try to do stupid exercise now or whatever.
I also travel in the same outfit now. Every. Single. Time. It's a soft yoga like onsie deal with a scarf and a light jacket. Every item has pockets. I think about nothing.
And I don't switch luggage! No matter the size or duration of the trip, it is the same bag. Sometimes it's heavy. Sometimes it's light.
