Hello there, Tor here again. Yesterday I talked about why packing feels so exhausting. Today I want to talk about what it actually costs you, because it's more than most people realize. Let's add it up. 1. The bag fees.Overpacking is what pushes you from a carry-on into a checked bag, or from one checked bag into two. That's $40 to $75 a flight, each way, on most airlines. A couple of trips a year and you're easily spending hundreds of dollars just to drag with you a bunch of extra stuff you won't use. 2: The overweight surprises.And this is the most INFURIATING one: Even when the bag fits, tipping over the weight limit at the counter is another fee. And it always comes at the worst moment, in front of the line, when you can't really do anything about it without starting to break social norms in front of everybody else that'll be on the same flight as you. 3. The stuff you buy twice.How often have you packed in a rush, thinking you've more than covered all of your bases... and then forgotten something essential, and just bought it again at the destination? Toiletries, a charger, a cardigan because the evenings were cooler than expected. That's money spent to replace things sitting at home. 4. The time and the energy.All the hours lost packing and repacking. The mental drain of second-guessing, and the restless sleep you have the night before the flight. Or standing at baggage claim watching the carousel while carry-on travelers breeze straight past you with their compact bags. None of this is because you're careless.It's because without a system, overpacking feels like the only reasonable and "safe" choice. Bring extra, just in case, and hope it fits. The costs above is just the price you've quietly had to accept for feeling a little more prepared. Here's the good news: The Space-Saving Travel Packing Method costs $67 right now. One of those avoided bag-fees, overweight-fees, or forgotten item purchases, and it's already paid for itself. Not to mention that the peace of mind, and being able to pack like an absolute pro is worth the price of enrolment on its own but... On the money side, everything the method saves you after that first avoided fee is money you keep. On every trip. Forever. So if you think about it, the method is not an expense. It's the thing that stops the expenses.
And you learn it once. Two hours, start to finish, at your own convenience, and then you have this skill in your arsenal forever. -Tor from Organizing.TV P.S. The 30% off ($67 instead of $97) for the 2-hr packing method runs through Sunday at midnight. Here's the link again. |
