When the author was working in Wharton she felt overwhelmed and said, "it suddenly seemed that quitting everything and moving to a sunny, slow-paced island somewhere was the optimal solution. I’d invite Leo and Rob to join me. Before I asked Rob to walk away from his career and pack for the beach, I needed to know whether I’d indeed be happier trading an overflowing to-do list for a blank one. With more available hours in the day, would I actually feel more satisfied with my life."
She then realized she could make small changes to be happy, ". By protecting work hours from waste and distraction so that I could produce more of what felt purposeful during those hours, by prioritizing time for activities that filled me rather than just my schedule, by outsourcing some chores so that I could instead spend that time playing with Leo, by savoring and celebrating day-to-day moments as I shared them with the people I loved . . . maybe I could “do it all.” Rob could reserve packing for our next vacation."
For brighter days, I did eventually ask Rob to move, and it happened to be a place with a beach nearby. But, except when on vacation, we don’t spend entire days relaxing. We are now raising Leo and our daughter, Lita, back home in California.
I don't understand what does "Rob could reserve packing for our next vacation." mean? what does "reserve" mean?

Good question! It isn't at clear that "reserve" is the right word here. But from the context, I take it to mean something like: Rob could save himself the task of packing until our next vacation" or "Rob could refrain from packing until our next vacation". The point seems to be that a big trip was being planned but then was abandoned, packing can wait until next time.
I hope that is helpful.

like "book" in "booking office", means "order beforehand / in advance"
