　　Preparing to go away on a business trip involves a lot of things to be planned well in advance, first of all, inform colleagues traveling with you and clients you will visit of the business itinerary. Doing this gives you an opportunity to share responsibility and make sure that your business trip runs as smoothly as possible.

　　If possible, pass on the travel arrangements to people involved when you don’t have enough time and energy to manage. Everything from flight bookings to hotel reservation, even to technical support such as projectors and microphones can be delegated as essential tasks.

　　Furthermore, it is important for you to set your goals before leaving for your business trip, what you would like to accomplish when you arrive at your destination. Time management may help your trip to be as productive as possible within such a short time to meet your goals.

　　And it is a good idea to create a checklist in your schedule to list the item that need to be packed for your business trip, packing your luggage with essential items makes the trip much easier.
