Trip Planner Board: From Picking a Destination to the Final Itinerary
For anyone planning a trip, opened while the destination is still undecided and used right through departure day. The whiteboard holds the trip goal and what is already settled, a day-by-day grid split into morning, afternoon, and evening, a per-person budget, a packing list, and the run-up schedule. The task board moves plans from idea to booked to the final pre-departure check, and starts with five parent tasks - destination, bookings, itinerary, money, and packing - each with its own subtasks.

If you searched for a trip itinerary template or how to plan a trip day by day and froze in front of a blank grid, this is built for you. It also helps when the destination is still a shortlist, when you worry about gaps in bookings or packing, or when a travel companion should share the work but the details are scattered across separate phones. The same flow works solo, with family, or with friends.
Work down the board in order. Start with "1. The Point of This Trip" to pin down who is going and what you want, then fill the morning, afternoon, and evening cells in "2. Day Grid" as plans firm up. Set a spending cap per category in "3. Budget Guide", then work through the packing frames from "4. Packing / Documents & Money" to "7. Packing / Buy It There". Finish with "8. Run-up to Departure" to line up what is left, in order, while the task board carries cards across Ideas, To Book, Booked, Pre-Departure, and Done.
Spend week one on the destination and dates alone - narrow it with "List three options" and close it with "Lock in your dates". Changing the itinerary later forces you to redo bookings, so lock the dates before "Book travel and stay". If the day plan feels overpacked, revisit "Time the transfers" and rewrite the grid with buffer added.
