Item — HN Reader

Unless I have to travel to a destination with a drastically different weather or I have to stay longer than ten days, it usually takes me no more than 15 to 20 minutes to get packed.

With my undiagnosed ADHD I usually start an hour or two before my airport cab.

My problem is not what to pack or that I pack too many things but to actually begin the process of packing.

I used to struggle to even start packing and solved it for me by creating a default packing list in google keep. So I now just need to mindlessly retrieve passport, ticket, cards, 3x socks, 3x shirt, etc. and check them off the list.

Only takes 15 minutes now and not a single braincell or any willpower need to be involved. And who doesn't love checking items off a list.

I do the same thing, except I have some anxiety around traveling, so I have - no exaggeration - started packing a week before a trip.

Yup, same here, except now I don't have to look at the list anymore. Have ended memorizing it.
