Roll Clothes When Packing
When packing shirts or blouses (or even shorts and slacks), in your suitcase, instead of folding them flat try rolling them up. They will not wrinkle nearly as much, and you will actually be able to fit more clothes in your suitcase.

Pack Outfits in Ziploc Bags
For each day you'll be away, pack a full set of clothes: top, pants, underwear, socks in a zippy bag. This keeps your suitcase neat, and it avoids the hassle of digging through clothes at your destination, or even deciding what to wear!
Although I started this for my kids, now I do it for myself. It's easy to put a tee-shirt, pair of shorts, underwear, and socks in a bag, if the items are bulky, you can use shopping bags and simply tape them shut.
Less time fussing with clothes = more time to enjoy your trip. Happy travels!
