Would you use a spreadsheet to plan your packing? It may not be the obvious way to pre-plan your next trip, but if you like to keep on top of things, well, why not? At least then you can get yourself organised and prepared. I mean, we often plan our activities, so why not think about the packing?

If using a spreadsheet is one way to pre-plan. Well, check out the upcoming weather forecast. If you know about the weather that makes packing so much easier to plan. You know what you need to take, and free’s up a load of space.
