Hey Reader, Would you like to take your packing list from economy to first class? Of course you would! But before we get into that, I wanted to remind you all that I am running the HPL Annual Reader Survey right now. It would be extremely helpful for me to know a bit more about you. And, since I've been stuck in bed sick for the past week, I've extended the deadline for the $30 Amazon Gift Card drawing to February 9th! Now, onto the packing list... Economy vs First Class Packing ListEconomy List: Good enough to get you there, but not very comfortable. There may be duplicates and extras thrown into the mix, and not much has been evaluated with care and attention. First Class List: Feels refined, simple, yet robust. You may have included fewer things on your packing list, but those things are higher value (not necessarily by monetary value) and chosen because they make an impact. If you had to choose, I'm sure most everyone would choose a First Class Packing List. So... Why are so many people stuck in economy?One big reason... They don't have the right tools. ⚒️ And I'm not just talking about physical tools here. Tools that take your packing list from economy to first class can be skills, frameworks, methods, and systems. All of which I have been creating for you here at Her Packing List. For example: 🛠️ My Baggage Freedom Express masterclass is based on my signature HPL Packing Method. 🛠️ I've created a list of 7 Packing Light Principles (learn 3 inside the Carry-on-only Crash Course and all 7 inside Baggage Freedom Express). 🛠️ The Packing Refinery is based on my S.M.A.R.T. packing framework. The very S.M.A.R.T. packing framework that can elevate your packing list. Take your packing list from economy → first class with The Packing Refinery!Once you've gotten to your economy level packing list... You simply run it through the S.M.A.R.T. packing framework. The Packing Refinery gives you a lens for examining the finer details of your list with a bit more guidance, and a lot more logic. So that you'll end up with a first class level packing list that makes you feel polished and put together with less bulk and clutter. Sound nice?
Happy packing, |

Hey Reader, You may have heard the commotion lately on this hot topic! Many travelers are talking about the changes happening to Southwest Airlines' baggage policy. Up until now, Southwest has allowed travelers to bring up to 2 pieces of checked luggage for free! What luxury! But, starting May 28th, you will need to pay to bring checked luggage - something they haven't done for the past 50 years 😱 The news may come as a shock to anyone who chooses to fly Southwest specifically for this...
Hey Reader, Before taking Baggage Freedom Express, Kim was hesitant: "I thought I was beyond help, having packed this way for so very long." Can you relate? Kim was stuck in a packing rut. 🧳 While old habits die hard, our inability to get out of a rut often comes down to not clearly seeing an alternative (and viable) path. For some, packing light feels like finding a nice, new route that hasn't yet been added to Google Maps. It'll be incredibly frustrating trying to track it down without help...
