Getting organized before traveling, especially if you travel often for business, helps you make sure everything runs smoothly during your trip, at the office and at home while you are away. Using a checklist is an easy way to make sure you have everything you need and are ready to enjoy your trip. You can save a checklist on your computer, easily modify it to fit your needs, and print out a copy before each trip for a visual reminder to help make sure you remember everything you need to pack and do before you go.

You can also get organized and save time preparing for travel by keeping lists of important phone numbers and instructions for house or pet sitters in a document on your computer that you can quickly update if needed before each trip and give to your family and care providers.
