Why is it that even packing to go on an overnight vacation takes so much effort.

I don’t remember this being such a process when I was in my 20s. Probably because the amount of stuff I have to remember and bring has grown as I age. Especially since having a kid, the amount of stuff coming along has grown.

But to be honest, my own amount of stuff I need to bring has gone up since turning 40 a few years ago.

The only thing worse than packing is unpacking, in my opinion.
