How do I organize travel plans?
Tired and offline is the state you will actually be in when you need the details. Design the note for that moment rather than for the planning phase.
What matters here
- One note per trip with dates, addresses and bookings
- Tasks for anything that must be done before departure
- Screenshots or offline copies of key documents
- A daily plan that is a sketch, not a schedule
- A shared list if you are travelling with others
The trip note
Flights, accommodation, transfers and the one phone number you might need, in a single note. Keep it short enough to read on a phone at a gate, and keep the confirmation numbers next to each item.
Pre-departure tasks
Check-in, visas, insurance, pet care, plants, bins. These belong in a dated list with the trip as a project, because they are the things that get missed at 11pm the night before.
The daily sketch
One or two anchors per day, not an itinerary. A plan with three fixed times a day stops being a holiday and starts being a schedule you are behind on.
