@Jet_064 All of those are good.
"He don't want to start off doing his homework." This should be "He doesn't want to start off doing his homework." However, this has a sense that he has more things to do and that he will do his homework eventually, but he will do something else first. "He needs to clean his room, eat dinner, and do his homework. He doesn't want to start off doing his homework. He will eat dinner, first."
The same goes for the rest of the "start off" sentences. "When are you going to start off your trip?" You will start a trip, and then continue it. "We start off January 1st for London, then we're going to Madrid."
"My days always start off in the same way." Of course, your day starts and then the day continues.
"He started off his video by packing out some boxes." The video starts, he packs boxes, and the video continues. We would probably say "pack boxes," "pack up boxes" if he was putting things in the boxes, "unpack boxes" if he was taking things out of the boxes, and "pack away boxes" if he was putting things in boxes OR he has boxes and he is placing the boxes somewhere. "Pack out" is usually for places full of people, like stadiums or theaters.
