Seven Things I Always Keep in My Bag

I like having a clean backpack with a minimal number of things that I actually use every day to enhance my experience while at work or anywhere else.
In my bag you’ll always find the following seven items:

  1. Journal
    I carry my prayer journal because I get to work thirty minutes before the time, I need to start every day and I use this to pray and journal.
  2. Book
    I like to have a book with me to read during my break. This item doesn’t always make it since I also use Overdrive or Hoopla to listen to audiobooks as well.
  3. Care mini bag
    This is a small pouch that I carry for emergencies. It has feminine hygiene products, pain relievers, lip balm, and hand cream.
  4. Headphones and charger
    I listen to books and music while working and these are a must for me.
  5. Pencil
    I like to have something I can write with on the go.
  6. Business card
    I give these out to people I meet during luncheons and events and it’s very useful to have them with me everywhere.
  7. Umbrella
    I don’t currently have an umbrella in my work bag because I recently changed my bag, and my old umbrella does not fit. I need to buy a smaller one, but this is essential for the amazing Florida weather fluctuations.

I keep my bag simple because I like to be able to get what I need quickly, and it helps keep my bag clean. Ever since I read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, I have been more mindful about keeping clutter out of all areas of my life including my bag.
