What is the 30 30 rule for minimalists?
To stave off impulse, I created a rule that helps me avoid unnecessary purchases. If something I want costs more than $30, I ask myself whether I can get by without it for the next 30 hours. Hence, “the 30/30 Rule.” (If it's $100 or more, I tend to wait 30 days.)
How do I pack for 7 days?
What clothes do minimalists wear?
Simply, a minimalist wears their favorite clothes every day. Most days I wear jeans, a teeshirt, and a pair of boots. Or, when I feel like it, I wear a crisp white button-up shirt, jeans, a blazer, colorful socks, and a clean pair of dress shoes. (I avoid logos because I refuse to be a walking billboard.)
Should I fold or roll my clothes when packing?
Rolling your clothes in your suitcase will generally save space. This is because it squeezes air from between folds and means the most of available space is used. If done correctly, rolling can also ensure less wrinkles in your clothes.
What is an example of an overpack?
An overpack can be a protective outer packaging like a box or a crate. In fact, if you've ever shrink-wrapped or banded together a pallet of packages or drums, you've created an overpack.
