I used to forget something every single time I packed. Not always major—but usually annoying. Socks. Charger. Underwear (yes, really).

Then I made a little acronym, and I haven’t looked back: PUMPS.

Here’s the magic:

Phone charger
Underwear
Makeup
Prescriptions
Socks

That’s it. Five things I used to forget. Five things I now pack first.

It’s simple, it works, and I don’t end up in a hotel gift shop trying to find mascara and clean socks. Everything else is just bonus points.

Highly recommend.
