Packing for a long trip is a little stressful. Even if you have the whole thing planned out with packing lists and last minute checklists, it's still easy to think you're forgetting something. Instead of simply keeping a running list of items you need, Psychology Today suggests another method is to just start packing early.
If you're always remembering things you need and then forgetting about them right after?just pack everything right away. Psychology Today explains:
When I have a trip coming up, my mind wanders to things I need to bring. Instead of struggling to push out the thought and then struggling to recall it later, I pack the item immediately. If it can't be packed until the last minute, I keep it on a last-minute list. I have thus freed myself from panic before trips, and self-flagellation on arrival. More important, I've freed up the mental workspace that gets wasted when you keep trying to forget things at one moment and remember them at another. I do this with all kinds of future projects: instead of worrying about forgetting, I just do it in advance.
It's arguable if this is any better than just keeping a packing list of items you need, but perhaps the prolonged packing period will work for some people.
