Our travel hacks will help you pack smarter and get the most out of your business trips.
Need to charge your phone on the train but aren’t close to a plug socket? Always carry an external charger for those emergency moments. There are pocket-sized ones that are ideal for people on the go.
When you’re packing for a trip, try rolling your shirts instead of folding them to avoid unsightly creases. But, if you do end up with a few unexpected ones, hang the shirts in the shower and the steam will get rid of them instantly.
For a crisp looking shirt, try coiling your belt around your shirt collar to keep it looking straight and stiff when you wear it. It will save you space too so you’ll have a spot for that extra pair of socks or phone charger.
Try finding a cabin-sized travel bag that already comes with a laptop compartment so that you don’t have to carry two separate bags. You’ll also have an extra hand to carry your takeaway coffee, fuss-free.
39% of people who read a book before bed report sleeping very well on a regular basis.
Creating a set bed time routine is likely to make you sleep better. So why not try to go to bed at the same time every night.
To have a positive effect on your quality of sleep, stop using devices like mobiles, laptops or the TV, at least one hour before bedtime.
