September 8, 2022How to pack for an extended work stay
This is uncharted territory for me, so I’ve been doing some research on how best to prepare. One thing I’ve learned is that proper packing can make the difference between feeling like you’re living out of a suitcase and feeling like you’re living your normal life while on assignment. The following tips should help you pack smartly for an extended stay:
Pack necessities first.
Take the time to pack your most important items first, and plan out your packing strategy ahead of time. You’ll want to make sure you bring:
- Toiletries and medications. These are the essentials that can’t be left behind! Be sure you have enough of everything for the duration of your stay (and have a backup supply in case something happens).
- A good pair of shoes. Make sure they’re comfortable, but also stylish enough for whatever social events you may attend while away from home.
- A good book or two (or three). Reading is an excellent way to pass the time when traveling—it’s even better if it’s something personal and meaningful! Even if you don’t normally read much in real life, try reading a few pages each day before bed: it will help put your mind at ease so that sleep comes easier on uncertain nights away from home sweet home…or maybe just cozy bedding with friends nearby; either way works great!
Pack as if you are traveling light.
- Pack as if you are traveling light.
- Do not over pack.
- Don’t bring things that you don’t need, and don’t bring things that you could easily buy locally.
- Don’t bring items that you won’t use.
- Heavy items are difficult to carry around and take up a lot of space, so avoid them where possible (e.g., bringing your own pillow).
Pack clothes that can be used for multiple occasions.
- Packing clothes that can be used for multiple occasions.
- This is one of the most important tips of all: don’t pack for every possible occasion. Pack clothes that can be worn in a variety of settings and then you can use them as needed. For example, if you have a shirt or jacket that has long sleeves, but also comes in short-sleeved versions as well (which tends to happen with linen), then it’s easier to take only one piece along with you instead of two or three different items.
Find out what hotel laundry services will cost.
Hotel laundry services can be expensive, but not at Eagle Ford Village. If you’re planning on doing laundry in your room or suite, the cost will be cheap! Forget dry cleaners, use our amenities to their full extent.
Invest in a good pair of shoes that offer support and comfort.
In the same way that you’ll want to pack for every occasion, you’ll also want to bring shoes that will work for all of them. For example, if you have a big meeting with clients on Tuesday night and plan on walking around afterward, make sure your shoes are comfortable enough for the long walk. If you’re expecting rain on Saturday afternoon, pack your rain boots (or ask your hotel concierge where to find some). And if you’re planning an intense hike through New Zealand’s national parks over spring break with friends from school who just couldn’t wait until summer break after graduation—make sure your hiking boots are broken in and ready to go!
Don’t bring the kitchen sink.
The best way to make a trip as painless as possible is to pack only what you need and nothing more. Many people find themselves bringing items for their stay that they don’t actually use, or that take up space. If you’re staying with us, there’s no reason to bring your own pots and pans, we have everything already available for you!
If you pack smart, you won’t have to worry about what you’re wearing or bringing with you while on a long-term work trip.
One of the most important things to think about when packing for an extended work trip is what you’re going to wear. If you have too many options and can’t decide, your packing will get delayed. And if you pack too little, you’ll find yourself in a situation where all of your clothes are dirty or don’t match up with each other.
The best way to avoid this is by thinking like a traveler who only has one suitcase: pack smart and don’t worry about what you are wearing until it’s time to go out again! When traveling light, people tend to bring clothes that can be used for multiple occasions instead of something specific (like a suit or dress). This gives them more flexibility in their wardrobe choices while still providing enough variety so they’re never bored with their outfit options on any given day—which is exactly what we want as well!
We hope this article has given you some ideas about extended stay packing for a long-term work trip. If there’s anything we’ve learned from our own experiences, it’s that packing smart and being prepared can go a long way toward making your stay more comfortable—and less stressful.
