Stay Organized in Premier Limo Service

If you ever wonder why some of your road warrior colleagues seem to sail through business trips, and return to the office looking refreshed, it isn’t because they have an elusive gene that makes them impervious to feelings of burnout or exhaustion. More likely, they’ve mastered the art of how to organize their itineraries, time, and luggage optimally for executive travel. The most effective business travelers are typically highly organized and focused. These are the people who are unusually well-prepared to maximize their time at 35,000 feet and in premier limo service to work on their to-do lists. We’ve curated some of our favorite organization tips to make your next travel assignment less of a nightmare and more of a breeze:

1. Become a Checklist Person

If you aren’t a checklist person, it’s probably time to become one for the sake of preparation for your next executive travel. Make a list well in advance of your trip, and put items on your calendar if you have any errands to run or paperwork to get in order before you leave. If you’re traveling internationally, it’s prudent to start preparations much further ahead. If your organizational center is your smartphone or tablet, consider the aptly named Best Checklist App as a tool. It offers a highly flexible format so you can customize items and deadlines according to your needs.

2. Take a Copy of Your Itinerary

If anything goes awry on the road, you never want to waste precious time sorting through your work email to find reservations or trying to call the corporate travel department at the home office to retrieve information. If your organization doesn’t prepare your itineraries, take the time to make your own. Compile information in an app such as TripIt so your premier limo service, flight, and hotel information is just a few clicks away. If you’ll be traveling internationally or taking long flights, it’s likely wise to take a printed copy in a clear, plastic protective sleeve in case you lose power or connectivity.

3. Become a Packing Master

Packing is a pain point for travelers. Let’s be honest, very few of us actually enjoy the process of engineering the perfect suitcase or carry-on bag. Travelers are often advised to approach their road wardrobe in terms of layers, so they’ll be well-prepared for a variety of weather situations. Think of packing your luggage in the same terms, to both streamline your journey through the security line and speed your unpacking once you reach the hotel. Layer heaviest items on the bottom, and lighter clothes on top to minimize the possibility you’ll have to iron anything. Place anything that will need to be removed at security, including liquids and electronics at the top of your carry-on to prevent digging before the body scanners.
