Taking fewer things will reduce the amount of luggage and make the trip easier, especially if you are traveling a long distance.
For a short trip, this may mean taking fewer clothes and extra items. Do you really need them? Focus on clothes that can be worn in multiple situations and that you can mix and match rather than having a separate set for each day. With fewer pieces, you can iron faster. Lightweight, easily packable clothes are of course just as smart. Finally, there are many brands that design clothing specifically for travel.Think about the electronics you will need.
