Hit 40 trips this year with just a carry-on and it surprised me

I travel for work about 3 or 4 times a month, and back in December I decided to try packing everything in one carry-on bag. I figured I'd save on fees and waiting at baggage claim. But now I've done it for 40 trips straight, including a week in Chicago and a weekend in Denver. The thing that surprised me most is how I haven't missed checking a bag once, even for longer stays. Has anyone else gone a whole year carry-on only and found a packing method that actually stuck?

Wow, packing cubes changed everything for me and nobody ever mentions how they keep your clothes from getting wrinkled in a tight bag. I roll everything and use the cubes to separate dirty clothes from clean ones on longer trips. Have you tried rolling your shirts instead of folding them?

Saw a travel blogger say packing cubes changed everything for them.
