And the main thing is that everything fits into it.
It’s time for vacations. And the most important question at this time is not even “where to go”, but “how to fit all things in a suitcase, not to forget anything and not to spend several days on it.” Wday.ru has compiled a list of useful life hacks that will come in handy when packing for any trip.
And preferably a few days before the gathering. You ask: what kind of time saving is this? It’s simple: this way you will definitely not forget anything necessary, but you will have time to cross out half of the unnecessary.
Choosing clothes according to the “4-3-2-1” rule
Experienced travelers use this simple method. For a week-long vacation, they advise you to take with you four “tops” (tops, T-shirts, T-shirts, sweaters – depending on where you are going), three “bottoms” (shorts, jeans, a skirt), two pairs of comfortable shoes and one headpiece … Plus, again depending on the weather, a swimsuit and a lightweight windbreaker with a hood. In the end, if you need some clothes, you can happily arrange shopping for yourself right on the spot.
Do not stretch out the collection of your suitcase for several days or take a break. So you can forget what is already in the bag, and what you must definitely not forget to take with you.
First, we put things on the sofa.
You don’t have to put everything in your bag right away. Firstly, it will be easier this way to collect the suitcase according to all the rules, so that it will include more than necessary. Secondly, at this stage, a lot of things that are not particularly necessary for the trip will probably be eliminated.
We roll clothes into rollers
Firstly, this way it will take up much less space, and secondly, it will not wrinkle. The rollers can be tightened with ordinary rubber bands so that they do not unfold.
We start with the hardest things
We put shoes on the bottom. It is better to pack it in shower caps or regular bags, and not in a pair, but in one item. Place rolled socks or other small items in your shoes, boots, or trainers. And we will save space, and the shoes will not deform. And then we “layer” the rollers of clothes, starting with the heaviest ones, for example, jeans and warm sweaters.
We fill the voids between things with underwear, socks, scarves. Among the rollers, we place combs, watches, flash drives and other trifles necessary for a trip. If you’re a planning genius and you still have some space left in your suitcase after packing, fill it up with wrapping paper. So things will definitely not be remembered and will not suffer. Moreover, on the way back, this place will definitely come in handy – will you take home at least some souvenirs?
We spread some of the things along the sides
We do not fold the belts and wires into a ring, but pull them along the sides of the suitcase.
Firstly, it is worth taking on vacation universal cosmetics, and not a whole beauty case. And secondly, a plump cosmetic bag will take up a lot of already precious space, it is better to distribute all the funds in the pockets and compartments.
They will help save space. We just put things in them and pump out the air with a special pump or an ordinary vacuum cleaner.
If you want to take jewelry with you on vacation so that they do not get lost and do not get entangled with each other, the chains can be threaded through the cocktail tubes, and the earrings can be fastened on the buttons of clothes.
Putting everything you need closer
If you know for sure that you will need some items immediately upon arrival, put them upstairs so that you do not have to search all over your luggage later.
