#Microblog Monday 591: Master Packing List, Part 2

I’ve been using a master packing list for years. It has everything I usually pack for every type of trip. I hit duplicate, delete the things I don’t need for the upcoming trip, and then cross off items as they go into the suitcase.

The app I had been using changed to a subscription model years ago, but as long as I didn’t update the app, I was able to keep using it for free. Unfortunately, when I changed phones, it installed an updated version on the new device. This is when I learned that I could recreate the list in the Notes app, change the whole thing to a checklist (look in the bottom left order for the checklist symbol), and then keep duplicating it by pressing down my finger in the table of contents screen (that shows all of your notes) until the duplicate menu popped up. Free option that works even better than the old option because I can check a box and easily see which items are still unchecked.

I may still forget to pack pants, but it won’t be the app’s fault.
