Reddit mentions of T-Shirt Folder Folding Board

I no longer travel (too old for that crap) but things I found helpful:-

1. Complete separate set of toiletries to the ones at home to save getting them in and out of the suitcase every week.
   
2. Invest in a good suitcase because you will use it heavily. Personally I use a Rimowa which you pay through the nose for but which are indestructible (and from personal experience in the very unlikely event of major damage are repaired free of charge even when it's a clear case of customer misuse). Other brands that people rate include Tumi and Briggs & Riley while airline employees themselves use Legit and TravelPro.
   
3. Learn how to pack a suitcase efficiently. There are plenty of Youtube videos. Rolling means more can go in and wrinkles are less likely. If you have to wear formal shirts, rolling won't be possible but slipping in tissue paper between each shirt and using a shirt folder like this speeds life up. If wrinkles do appear, try hanging it on the hotel bathroom with the shower turned as hot as possible and close the door for 10 minutes.
   
4. Sign up for a frequent flyer card and hotel loyalty card at the first opportunity. If you have to travel that much, at least make it so you get something back from it. Get a good credit card too.
   
5. Invest in a high quality several metre long USB cord to charge any electronic items you may need such as e-cigarettes, personal and work mobile phones, PSPs and the like. If you think that all USB cords are one and the same think again. Do some research first - a business insider article on it is here. Often you will find a USB port behind or on the side of the TV in your hotel room. If you will need to travel via hire car, get a cigarette lighter charger too.
   
6. If travelling internationally, consider investing in a plug adaptor. There are universal ones available via Amazon. I have an all in one from CleverTrips that handles all countries.
   
7. Once you find a decent taxi driver, ask them if they're willing to transport you regularly. One McK Engagement Manager I used to know based out of Milan had his regular taxi driver rock up with two cold beers when he landed home on Friday afternoon.
   
8. It's incredibly easy to put on weight if constantly on the road. Be very careful with what you eat. Use hotel gyms if you can.
   
9. The less you carry, the easier life is. Don't fall into the mistake of having check in luggage unless absolutely essential.
   
10. Always be nice to the employees you meet at the car hire desk, security, gate, hotel reception and even more so to the flight attendents on the plane. You will see these people regularly if it's the same place every week and it's good manners anyway. You will find it pays back, they will do their best to help you out if/when shit hits the fan.
    
11. Get organised. I had to use a centralised travel booking tool (which is fine). I set up an automater on my mac to auto forward it to the google calendar I share with my now-wife so she would know what flight I'm taking and when. If they don't integrate automatically, use TripIt to help the process.
    
12. Don't forget to pack business cards to hand out.
    
13. If you suffer from Nomophobia (low battery anxiety) get yourself a monster powerbank. It's easy to get ones nudging 40,000mA now.
    
14. Got a hotel fridge? Stack it with healthy foods. Boiled eggs are healthy and have protein. Stash some fresh fruit, granola and yoghurt for a healthy breakfast. A veggie platter will last you several days.
    
15. Understand the business culture of where you're going. Countries differ widely. Example: small talk in Germany is not a done thing and they're quite formal - you should address someone you haven't met as Herr or Frau until you have gotten to know them. In most of Scandinavia punctuality is a big thing. 9am really does mean 9am, not 5 past 9.
    
16. http://www.seatguru.com helps you pick the best available seat on the plane rather than accidentally being allocated the one right next to the loo.
    
17. Try to avoid indirect flights.
    
18. Try to understand idosyncracies of flights. Heathrow - permanently delayed. City - one of the worlds best and an absolute joy to fly out of but hard to get to for many. Dallas in the summer - thunderstorms or hurricanes and delays. Phoenix during monsoon - haboob time. Chicago in the winter - threat of snow storms causing delays. Munich? Miles and miles from the city centre.
    
19. If it's winter wear your winter coat for the journey including getting on the plane because those things occupy a helluva lot of space in your suitcase otherwise.
    
20. Have a backup credit card in your suitcase in case you lose your wallet.
    
21. Consider getting a loyalty card app like Stocard. Scan all your loyalty cards in, throw the things away. Cue a thinner wallet. Consider also getting electronic boarding cards when you check in. I can't remember if android do it but apple wallet definitely does - just don't run out of battery (see earlier comment about having a powerbank).
    
22. Consider investing in a kindle when you have downtime. Also consider investing in a netflix account - you can plug the hotel TV into your laptop and watch your favourite TV series or films on the bigger screen.
    
23. Get really good noise cancelling headphones. These significantly help sleep on overnight long haul flights and also in noisy offices. I'm wearing some right now.
    
24. Consider prebuilding spotify playlists. I have calming ones, pump up ones, sleeping ones, wake up ones.
    
25. Check the expenses policy with your company, but consider getting a receipt tracker if they accept photos of them. Concur is one example of an app that does this.
    
    26). Do. Not. Fall. Behind. On. Your. Expenses. Ever. This irritates senior management a lot. Do not be that guy or girl.
    
    

27. Have an emergency medical kit. Mine has painkillers, plasters, small pack of tissues, chapstick, some of those packets to dunk in hot water when you have a cold or flu and cough sweets.
    
    
28. It sounds obvious, but make a note of the emergency exit instructions on the back of the hotel door before you asleep. From personal experience it's not fun trying to figure it out half asleep at 3am.
    
    
29. Set multiple alarms on your phone. Never trust a hotel alarm clock. They're often hard to work out and sometimes don't even go off.
    
    
30. If you have the time to visit a local site of interest, go for it!
    
    EDIT:
    
    
31. Have digital backups on a cloud (e.g. Google Drive or MS One Drive) of scans of your credit cards and passport. It would be prudent to also have a note of the phone numbers for your bank and credit card for lost cards.
    
    
32. Ref the seatguru.com thing above, oag.com will tell you which type of airplane will fly that day.
    
    
33. Pack antibacterial gel for your hands. Planes, trains and airports can be some of the most unhygenic places in the world. It means you stay hygienic and less likely to get ill. As any well seasoned traveller will tell you, the only thing worse than being ill is being ill in a hotel room hundreds if not thousands of miles from your own bed.
