York is coming up. Time to start packing. So how do we remember to bring everything we need? A number of years ago we started a “Timesaver Travel List”. It’s just a check list that we get out ahead of a show or event and use to try and start getting organized. There is a master list of things that are needed to be gathered and there is always more on that list than we take, plus stuff that needs to be added. We keep a file of the old lists and update the online file after each trip or event.
We start traveling in 10 days, so printed this off this morning and started making stacks of what should go and what needs to be worked on before we get underway.
