Time is money. 5 Lifehacks on how to save time packing before traveling

Tips for those who value every second of their time.

The vacation season is about to begin, which means that it won’t be long before you have to pack your bags and think through the whole process of preparing for your vacation. We’ve gathered for you five lifehacks on how to save your time, nerves and patience for the rest of your trip.

Lifehack 1: Make a list

To make sure everything you need goes in your suitcase, write out a list of things you need on a piece of paper and follow it when packing. This way, it will be easy to keep track of what’s missing. Don’t forget that you can also make a list of things to do before you leave. That way you won’t forget to hand the cat over to the neighbors and turn off the iron on time.

Lifehack 2: Pack a suitcase in advance

A good way to avoid frantically packing your bags on the last day is to start packing about a week before you leave. If you already know exactly what dates you’ll be traveling on, think through your entire closet. Remember that some things will have to be washed, ironed or cleaned before you pack them in your suitcase, and that may not be quick! By packing a couple items each day, you’ll save time on departure day and won’t have to worry about forgetting something.

Lifehack 3: Check in for your flight online

This lifehack will be useful for flight enthusiasts. Going to the airport five hours before your flight is not convenient at all. To save passengers’ time, online check-in has been invented. It opens on the airline’s website about a day before departure. Don’t be afraid to miss the opportunity to check in this way: a reminder will come to your e-mail. If you have no luggage and your boarding ticket is printed, you can go straight to security at the airport. You only need a smartphone for online check-in. That’s it! Now you can arrive at the airport an hour before your flight.

Lifehack 4: Choose how to get to the airport or train station

There are several ways to get to the train station or airport: public transportation, cab, carsharing, or private car. We recommend looking at all the options, calculating the fastest way to get to your destination and choosing it. For such research you will need 5-7 minutes and maps in your phone. Thanks to this, you will already understand in advance, for how long you need to leave the house.

Lifehack 5: Decide what you’re going to wear

Some people have trouble deciding what to wear on a trip. After all, you need everything to be both stylish and comfortable. And if there are children in the family, the process of selecting a bow for the trip is delayed for several hours, or even days. Think about what you’ll be wearing about a couple weeks before you leave. In this case, you will have a chance to take your time picking out clothes and shopping. Updates always lift your spirits and bring closer the time of the long-awaited vacation.
