Packing light tips (self.OneBag)

Hi everyone! I would love to hear your tips to pack light for different occasions. For example, do you plan the exact outfit you'll wear day by day and repeat a lot? Would you take more than 1 pair of shoes for a weak trip (plus one extra wearing at plane)?
Do you consider the weight of an item or just the space it takes?

Please feel free to add any recommendation!

There are variables to consider. Will you be able to wash things in a tub/sink? You can take much less this way. Just wear the shoes that you wear in the plane. A pair of pants beyond what you wear in the plane. Shorts that match both pants. I wear nice, quality wool socks. I can wear them for more than one day.

I just spent a week on a river trip, and everything I took (including the boat) would fit in a checked bag. How big of a bag do you plan to take? I have also flown with a personal item only for a three day trip. How much do you really need to take?
