Packing ..

While I was packing to leave my apartment I started with 2 goals:
a] Get things packed as quickly as possible
b] Get rid of everything that I might not use !!

I started with bunch of clothes as you can see in the picture above. Eventually I ended up discarding few jackets , shirts, and lots of T shirts ranging from brand new to used favorite ones which come out of closet only when I have to pack bags :). I managed to do all my clothes just in aboiut 2 hrs and this was a deep shock to few of my friends most of them females :). So ladies here are some thumb rule which might help you to pack :

1] If you do not need something, give it to someone or throw it!
2] If you haven't used some clothes in last 12 months considering getting rid of them !
3] If you haven't used something in last 18 months you do not need it. Go to rule 1
4] If you haven't used something for last 24 months .. THROW IT !! The entire world doesn't need it anymore !!







The picture shows the stuff that finally made it to Seattle !!







P.S: I had to pay $100 more for each bag I carry. So I took one of the new traveling bag and put all my stuff which I think were not worth paying $100 for and I kept them in Seattle. This reduced one traveling bag and I saved $100 :). I can easily get a new traveling bag for $30-75 when and if I need in the future !!
