What’s Your Organizational Packing Personality
Have you ever considered that how you approach packing is directly related to your personality type? Discovering your packing personality can be eye-opening and help you achieve efficiency and understanding. By unpacking the secrets behind packing, we’re about to explore how your approach to organization can be as individual as you are.
Let’s dig into our core Pixie-types and how they approach the art of organizational packing:
Classic Pixie: The Detailed Packer
Packing not only gives you a means to maintain order, but it truly is something this pixie-type enjoys. It goes beyond the need to be organized and stems from a need to seek comfort from being prepared and tidy. With every sock, every shirt, folded and placed to perfection — for our Classic Pixies, organization is just as much an aesthetic as it is a method for control and order. Always indulge your desire to create a packing list. It’ll make you happy and you will forget nothing at home.
Fun Pixie: The Last Minute Packer
Even if you are packing 5 minutes before running to catch a plane, you know what you are doing. Living in a state of controlled chaos gives you life. Yes, you are easy-going, sometimes adventurous, and adept at living in the moment. However, you are also firmly grounded in reality and the practical details of life and work, which means you know where things are and pack a perfect To Go bag in minutes even without a packing list.
Smart Pixie: The Functional Packer
You head into travel preparation almost with a military general’s strategy in your head, taking a functional approach to tackling your suitcase. This is when your ability to see things from 30,000 feet really comes in hand. Smart Pixies are driven by a desire to simplify and ensure the necessary items can be reached when needed without fuss. No frills, no elaborate folding techniques beyond what is necessary to get the job done right — just a straightforward system designed for efficiency.
Organic Pixie: The Minimalist Packer
Can only bring a carry-on for a 7 day trip? Challenge accepted! Packing light and packing right is a challenge you willingly accept. For you, there’s no need to take more than what is essential. Your ability to see the big picture allows you to create a packing plan that doesn’t include everything and the kitchen sink. This strategic ability allows you to declutter both your physical and mental space.
