[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lay everything on the bed. Make outfits so everything goes with everything. I stick with 2 colors and an accent. I pack for 5 days always.(unless shorter trip). I can wash if it's a longer trip. 
I don't always pack favorite clothes, I pack favorite travel clothes. At this point there is a set 2-3 outfit combinations I always wear for a warmer weather trip so I just pull those. Add whatever special outfit I need (swimsuits or wedding dresses). 
I learned that for ski trips I need ski stuff and like 1 go to dinner outfit. The rest is travel clothes and a pair of yoga pants for inside hotel. Easy. 
For beach 3 swim suits, 2 loose dresses, 1 pair of shorts, 1 pants (wear on plane) and 3 tshirts max and a long sleeve something. Always a light or heavier scarf/pareo depending on weather. [/quote]

This.

I also make lists for kids so they prepare their own clothes stuff (when they were younger, I asked them only if all on the bed and then we went through it and I helped them pack it either in a large suitcase or a small carry on.

I also lay most of stuff on the bed and then pack it.

For longer trip where I visit family and need to pack gifts, and take several suitcases, I usually have the suitcases out and open and start packing gifts and things I don’t use as I get them.

Then for our clothes, do like pp did.

I also use bags (shopping or laundry bags that hotels have) also different sizes of ziplocs. So pack underwear in a ziploc, beach stuff in a different ziploc, toiletries and so on. Then when I get to destinations I just take out and put in drawer or closet. I guess these are the predecessors and simplified packing cubes but I still prefer them to packing cubes.

I also travel often, so have pre-packed toiletry bag, so just throw it in.

Also, usually throw in either a lightweight backpack (those that can be made very compact) or canvas shopping bag. Find them useful at destination or if need an extra bag.
