I have a packing list saved and which is revised before each trip. I just returned from 15 days in Italy- I took a large checked bag and used packing cubes for the first time which was a game changer for me. If not for toiletries, I could’ve used a carry-on suitcase (next long trip I will put shampoo, etc into smaller containers so I don’t have to check the bag). We walked 20,000 to 30,000 steps a day and the Sketchers washable black sandals were extremely comfortable and not hideous! I also clean the house and change the bed linens before I leave and immediately empty the suitcase when I return. It takes a while to catch up on laundry and put everything away, but I feel like that gets the ball rolling.
