Packing light is less about willpower and more about a repeatable method.

Plan outfits, not items

Pick a few pieces that all go together, so every top works with every bottom.

Lay out, then halve

Put everything you think you need on the bed, then remove half. Most trips need less than we expect.

Keep a standing kit

A pre-packed toiletry and charger kit saves time and stops the last-minute extras.
