Summer is here, the temperatures are in the 90's and the sun is shining daily. Hopefully you have some fun plans this summer including summer camps, beaching, boating, trips and vacations. Regardless of your plans this summer, all of this activity requires organizing as you pack and unpack throughout the summer. Here are three tips to keep you organized while the good times roll.
Don't over pack. Most people over pack when heading out of town by 30%. Lighten your load this summer by bringing less with you. Set everything out that you think you want to pack. Then take another look at the stack and remove at least three items. Another way to lighten the load is the be smart about the items you bring and find items that can work double duty when on the road. Remember that we are trying to avoid the idea of bringing something "just in case".
Use plastic. Plastic dry cleaning bags can help you to keep items from getting wrinkled while in transit. It is also good to bring a plastic trash bag to use as a dirty clothes bag while traveling. It helps you to keep the clean and dirty clothes separate as well as creates an easy way to pull out your dirty clothes when you get home.
Unpack right away. When the fun is done and you have returned home relaxed and exhausted that is just one important task to accomplish, unpack. If you grab your dirty clothes from your travel bag and return your personal items to their home, you will have mostly unpacked in a matter of minutes. Unpacking is a dreaded task by many but if you are able to unload your bag and store the luggage right away, your transition home will be that much smoother and you will be able to find everything when you need it.
I hope everyone has a wonderful summer enjoying the beautiful weather, and visiting family and friends. With these three steps, you can stay organized while traveling and upon returning home.
