That’s a grind most people don’t think about. The underrated stuff is less about packing tricks and more about making it feel less temporary.
A few things that really help over time. Ask for the same room or at least the same floor every week. It sounds small, but familiarity matters a lot. Leave a basic toiletry kit and cheap workout clothes in the car so you’re not constantly repacking. Bring one personal item that never leaves the room, like a small photo or your own pillowcase, just to make it feel yours.
Routine is huge. Same gym time, same walk, same coffee spot. It gives structure when everything else feels in between. Also, talk to the hotel staff. Being recognized makes a big difference after a few months.
Most important tip is mental. Treat it like a second home, not a hotel stay. The weeks go faster that way.
