How about a packing list? Don't cross off an item until it is actually inside your pack. If you bring the list with you it will help you from leaving things behind in your hotel room. Keep the list online (on Google Docs, for example) so you can re-use it and tweak it for each successive trip.

Packing lists are critical, I find. I give one to my clients that includes notes about quirks of place we're visiting.

Like you, I cross off things as they go into the bag.

I also create a separate To Do list each week before I travel with all the things I have to remember to do before I leave. Plus a separate "Don't Forget To" list ...put out garbage, cancel newspaper, turn off water, etc., etc.

Maybe because I'm a pretty loosey-goosey person in my day-to-day life I've found that these kinds of lists really have saved my bacon many, many times.
