I travel 5x a year for work (1 week trips) and internationally (2 week trips) annually. I have Global Entry which has eased most of the stress of going to the airport even though I often travel domestic.
Personal Item: TNF Isabella Backpack (work) or some other slightly larger backpack for personal travel.
Carry-on: Briggs & Riley expandable luggage This has a legit lifetime warranty. If you travel a lot, just buy it, you won't regret it.
Organization: I mainly use these Eagle Creek Packing Cubes and the Eagle Creek Specter Packing Cubes in a variety of sizes and colors. The specter cubes are great because they're so lightweight (and the colors are better and they make compression versions) but I cannot easily access items as the regular packing cubes. I fill the cubes by stacking all of my unfolded tops on top of each other and then fold all layers together and pack it neatly in one of the cubes. If there's any extra space, I'll fill it with small items that are ok if they're wrinkled. I'll do the same method for any pants/skirts etc. All important electronics (chargers, battery packs, cords), a small amount of meds, snacks, makeup (extra moisturizer or face mask for the plane), noise cancelling headphones, misc valuables will always be in my personal item. I use a regular quart sized ziploc bag to carry my toiletries and the non liquids will be organized in this Muji Hanging Organizer. I'm obsessed with Muji's travel containers, especially their pump bottles as they're easy to use and do not leak but are pricey. Socks/underwear and other small items are stuffed into shoes and plastic shower caps are used to cover the soles of shoes and protect them from getting other items dirty.
I keep all of my packing lists in a google doc and organized by frequent destination (work trips) or specific climates (cold weather vs beach trips). This helps me ensure I have every item I need and I'm not racking my brain for what I forgot from the last trip. For international trips, I will also make a doc of all the important addresses (lodging), phone numbers, emergency contacts, flight details etc and print a couple copies for my luggage (place in protective plastic sleeve and slip into outer pocket of luggage) and email a set to my parents and siblings so they aren't worried.
Oooh I love it! I studied abroad last year and traveled a lot while I was there, so I was able to get a system down.
Most of my baggage is the Victorinox Avolve 2.0 set, which one hardside carry on that will fit international flight standards (also by Victorinox
I also swear by packing cubes, specifically the Eagle Creek Pack It Spectre system
Finally, for carry on and overnight bags, I use Longchamp. I think it's a classy brand whose bags hold up really really well over travel. I have the Longchamp Le Pliage backpack , the Le Pliage Neo tote, and for a weekender I have the Boxford weekender.
I use these http://amzn.com/B007NZVY32 . Eagle creek seems to make the best packing cubes. I use to have these http://amzn.com/B00DDTO3O4 but they are a flawed design because the mesh easily gets broken then your clothes fall out.
Thanks! I notice there are two styles, the Starter and Specter set. Did you use either of these?

It seems expensive, but having unwrinkled clothes and not digging around all the time made life easy. I have this set https://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Creek-Specter-White-Strobe/dp/B007NZVY32/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1491579748&sr=8-3&keywords=eagle+creek+specter and the Folder size Medium. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M2IO0H2/ref=twister_B011RYXY96?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
That Vapur water bottle and the Shackle cubes are not 'the best' in their categories. I'm sure they are fine, but neither were recommended here and there are much better choices for both.

I would replace with these:
