Pack for the tournament
A tournament day is long, often far from home, and what is missing can rarely be solved on site. The packing also happens the evening before, when the day still feels far away. The pictures below make the list concrete so nothing important stays at home.

About this visual support
Packing for a tournament is forward planning in its purest form. What goes in the bag is decided by a day that has not happened yet, and the reward for getting it right arrives the following morning. For anyone who finds it hard to imagine future needs the task is abstract: why bring spare socks when your feet are dry right now?
Visual support makes the invisible need visible. A row with clothes, shoes, a water bottle, food and something to do between matches makes the list concrete. The pictures also work as a check the next day, when the bag has to be packed again for the journey home.
A concrete tip is to pack in two parts: one for playing and one for waiting between matches. The waiting is usually longer than the playing time, and that part is almost always forgotten. In Routined the tournament can sit as a routine with packing the evening before, and the app can be tried for fourteen days at no cost.
