Have a packing party!

“Everything’s more exciting when it’s a party, right?” – JFM 🎊
According to Joshua Fields Millburn (1/2 of the Minimalists), “Everything’s more exciting when it’s a party, right?”. So I hosted a packing party for myself where I packed away every single one of my belongings.
⁠

👉 Your Turn: Have a Packing Party!

Pack up all of your belongings into boxes––clothes, shoes, electronics, lamps, chairs, blankets, towels, toiletries, books, etc. For larger items that won’t fit into boxes or bags, I recommend covering them with a sheet. For example, I “packed up” my desk, my dresser, my bed!
And if you have a car, have a mini packing party.
Grab some boxes and pack up everything in your car––napkins, spare coins, pens, phone chargers, utensils, insurance papers, etc. Don’t forget the stuff in your glove box and trunk!
🗒️ NOTE: This step took me multiple hours. If you want to make the time go by quicker, consider inviting friends and/or family to help you with this step. Make it a party!! 🥳
⁠
Everything should now be packed. Out of sight, out of mind!
