 Hi guys! My name is Shachi and welcome to my channel. This channel is all about productivity, fitness and lifestyle. 2017 has been a year of travel for me. I feel like I'm always on the move. Hence there is so much packing and unpacking. I used to be one of those people who would pack a ton of luggage and always have a hard time with it. However, over the last one year I have figured out few things to keep my luggage more organized and convenient. So in this video, I'm going to share these hacks with you so that you can travel lighter and smarter. This one trick has been a game changer. Earlier I would fold my clothes and stack them on top of each other. Not only would this take more space but it made it impossible to find anything in my luggage. Instead, what I do now is use the Konmari method. Here you roll the clothes and stack them mixed to each other in a height order. Doesn't it look super neat? And not only does this take less space but you're able to see your entire wardrobe in one glance. So no more digging into your luggage trying to find something. The second tip is to plan your outfits for each day well in advance and pack them together as one set. So lay out the clothes that you plan to wear together and roll them in as one unit. If you plan to wear accessories then add that too and roll it in together. This tip saves you a town of time and you'll not be spending mornings of your vacation trying to figure out what to wear. If you want you could also take pictures of these outfits and store them in your phone. And on that day you can just look at these pictures, decide what to wear and pick it up from your luggage. So my next tip is to use pouches and smaller bags. I use pouches for everything. It helps to keep my luggage more organized and prevents things from getting messed up. So I have a small bag or a pouch for my innerwear, for my toiletries, for my makeup and cosmetics and also for my electronics. I also have a bag for my shoes because I pretty much carry my pouches everywhere and this bag is very handy to do that. You have to carry big bottles of shampoos and lotions with you when you travel. What I do is that I save the samples and smaller packets of products that I get and use them when I travel. Another thing that I have done especially for products like eye lotion, perfume etc. is to invest in these smaller travel size bottles and use them with me when I travel. Doing this not only saves space but it also does not add to the bulk and to the weight. Another thing that you could do especially if you travel a lot is to put together this entire kit and keep them in your luggage so that you don't have to pack and repack your cosmetics and lotions every day. My last tip for you is to carry extra plastic bags in your luggage. This is very helpful when you want to store clothes which might be wet or dirty and you don't want it to get mixed up with your other clothes. What I also do is to keep a small handbag or a small carry bag in my luggage. This comes handy during times when I know that I have extra stuff and I might exceed the weight limit. In such cases I just transfer all this into this bag and carry it as a handbag. So guys thank you so much for watching. These were my tips and hacks to help you travel lighter and smarter.
