When I was younger, the thought of taking a trip somewhere excited me so much that I'd often pack my bag weeks in advance! Only to have to go back into my bag to find something I needed/wanted prior to the trip.
These days, I'm lucky if I pack it all before 3am the day of my trip. For some odd reason, I often find myself traveling early in the morning. As the travel date approaches, I'll pull out my suitcase and throw items in there as I remember them. The usual suspects include my dirty laundry bag (it's an old bag that's large enough to hold my unmentionables + dirty socks), my toiletry kit (boy is it ever extensive), a cheap pashmina which doubles as a scarf and a thin blanket for the chilly evenings + cold plane ride and my 3 oz clear quart size bag.
But I stumbled upon this list from Daily Candy and thought I should really pin this up or print a copy and toss it into my suitcase for my next trip!
I especially like the idea of the white button-up, it really goes with everything when you're in a pinch. But now really, could all this fit in a TSA approved carry on bag? Lucky for me, I force it in. The only problem is bringing home any kind of souvenir or shopping on the trip!

That's just cool, so you wont forget what and what not to bring. Btw, I also like to travel so early in the morning.

I have come across an idea before about this one. It suggests bringing old clothes that you could throw away so that the space they leave in your suitcase can be used for bring souvenirs back home.
