Even for the most organized of packers, it's nearly impossible to avoid that gut-wrenching feeling that follows you all the way through the security line: I must have forgotten something! And it's not any better for the more disorganized travelers, especially when chances are you actually have forgotten something -- you just can't remember what -- and since you shoved everything last-minute into your black hole of a suitcase, you nearly end up missing your flight by the time it takes you to do a last-minute run-through of all the junk you've stashed. But even though there's not much to get rid of that inevitable niggling feeling of dread (paired with pre-flight jitters), you can pack more confidently and more accurately (hopefully) with organizing luggage that makes sure everything you pack has its proper place. Multi-compartment duffels, roomy suitcases with lots of nooks and crannies for easily-lost items, and even special organizers for your lingerie and toiletries not only keep your travel goods organized (and private upon inspection), but helps you double check (or quadruple check, if you're nervous) to make sure nothing's missing from its designated pocket. Check the slideshow for a selection of luggage, big and small, that will help make you a packing pro!
Resolve To Get Organized In 2010 With Personal Organizers & Planners!

One quick glance at my desk at home and it's painfully clear that one of my New Year's resolutions is to get organized. And sure, it's easy to get motivated when it's only the first week of January and I'm still in "fresh start" mode, but once the laziness kicks in it's going to be a serious struggle to avoid reverting back to my old disheveled ways. That's why I'm on the prowl for stylish ways to keep me efficient for 2010 -- messenger bags, laptop cases, agendas, etc. After all, what better motivation to stay tidy than a brand new bag? And even if your list of resolutions is too long to include staying orderly (or maybe you're already enough of a neat freak already), these picks are still practical additions to anyone's shopping list. Check out the slideshow for my favorite get-organized buys for a neat-and-tidy new year!
