I guess everyone who leaves their house daily will have some kind of list. Mine~ Car keys, Wallet, Phone, Headphones, Leatherman multitool, Generally positive attitude
- phone
- wallet
- keys
- lꝏp earplugs
- neck strap attached to case for above
… yes that’s literally it !
I carry like $2 in change in my right front pocket, and have for as long as I can remember. I cannot leave the house without it anymore - it feels like something is wrong. I also would struggle to tell you the last time I ever NEEDED physical change. It’s more of a novelty than anything at this point, but it’s part of my routine.
Wallet, keys, phone, pocket knife, smile.
Keys, phone, wallet, smokes, lighter.
That’s about it.

- E-Cigarette
- Steam Deck (I am pretty anxious when many people are in the subway - playing keeps my stress level down)

BRUH, I’d worry about people stealing it. Couldn’t even concentrate on whatever game it is.
Since street crime rates in Vienna are very very low - and i don’t look like an easy target - i am not anxious about that at least lol
Phone, keys, wallet, testicles, spectacles
Wallet, buck knife, mini tape measure. Utter cynicism.
Keys, wallet, phone. Depending on where I’m going, shopping bags, emotional support toy
My purse has all sorts of things in it. The most useful are the pen light, stubby multi-bit driver, utility knife, and multi-bit electronics driver. That with chargers, and usb cables (A, C, and micro).
Of course that is in addition to what one would typically find in a ladies’ purse. I also have my nicotine products in there.
Every few weeks I sort through what is in there. It’s too bad that it is not really socially acceptable for cishet guys to have a European carry-all.
Backpack. partially to hold the essentials: phone, kleenex, keys, wallet, headphones. And well, you never know if you’ll pick something up and the backpack will come in handy
Earbuds.
I recently took up running, and when I did that I decided I was just going to wear my smartwatch and earbuds. I leave my phone in the house, I leave my keys in the garage (there’s a keypad on the garage door), I don’t even take the case for the earbuds.
When I go out for any reason other than running, I always take my phone, wallet, keys, earbuds, chapstick, a pen, and nail clippers. (I don’t know why on that last one, but I’ve had a pair for my whole adult life, except when traveling by plane, and they come in handy a lot). I usually also wear my watch, but sometimes I forget to charge it and it has to stay on the charger.
So the only common item in those two lists is the earbuds.
In the vein of your positive attitude, I also try to always take with me a realization that everyone else is fighting a battle, too.
Not sure what kind of watch and phone you have, but I just discovered that I can charge my watch from my phone using the wireless charging capability of the phone. I’ve owned both for 4 years now. (Both Samsung)
Huh, that’s handy. Mine are both Pixels, and alas the Pixel watch has a magnetic but not wireless charger.
“Testicles, spectacles, wallet, and watch”
Keys, glasses, wallet, and phone.
Spectacles Testicles Wallet Phone
Keys, phone, wallet. Watch if needing to know the time is relevant on my trip.
I’m a simple man.
I may trim the wallet down. It’s not a Costanza, but I’m not using half of what’s in there. I don’t trust Samsung/Google/apple pay, so I’m still lugging the card around; but honestly that and my driver license and health ID card is all I really need, and I understand those flicky card case things. Toss a chipolo card thing in there since I leave everything everywhere, and I’m done.
I have ADHD so I get rid of most problems by literally tying things to myself. I have a second belt which goers over my pants and have a hip bag attached to it. In that I have the following;
Disposable nitrile gloves (3-4 pairs)
Hand sanitiser
Power bank (10000mAh)
USB C cable
Thumb drives (one with kids shows, one with software, one blank)
USB A to C adapter
Wallet
ID lanyard
Emergency cash (not in wallet because if I lose my wallet I still have my cash)
Tissues
Aspirin, paracetamol, and ibuprofen
Ritalin
Plastic bags for rubbish
Nasal inhaler (for blocked nose, long term issue)
Car and house keys (attached on a clip, not inside)
Then I have my pockets for phones (I have 2), wireless headphones, and anything else for the day.
By keeping my keys attached I cannot get in the car without my belt bag.
Sane reply
Do you mean that ironically or literally?
Tbh, if I didn’t actually attach things to myself I would lose them. If I had a kid I would have a strap to connect them. When I take my cat for walkies we have a harness and lead which never leaves my hand. I have my keys set up to lock the front door from the outside so I cannot lock myself out without my keys.
ADHD can suck, but with good tools and processes it is much more manageable.

This is so relatable! Everything I need has a place in my backpack. My fannie pack also goes in my backpack because I don’t want to move items then forget them.
