minify:

It’s not a trick question, when you are on the go, whether it be at work, school or around the park, what do you keep in your pocket? Before I really became minimal I would ALWAYS have my iPod touch, cell phone, Apple earbuds, my huge wallet, and my big keychain. Now I just bring along my binder clip wallet that is attached to my 2 item key chain via lanyard, and my cell phone. Although lately I have been bringing along a pen and my moleskin in my back pocket.

Too many people have too much stuff on them throughout the day, such as:

• Wallet: gift cards, hotel cards, membership cards, debit/credit card, cash
• Keychain: house key, unknown key, car key, other car key, flash drive, etc.
• Phone (sometimes more than one)
• Backpack: notebook, water bottle, laptop, pen, books, etc.
• Briefcase: papers and the like
• Purse
• Watch
• Hat
• Bracelet, necklace

Re-evaluate what you really need in your pockets. That iPod you have, how many times do you actually use it when you are on the go? Those mystery keys on your keychain, why do you have them? Get rid of those old membership cards or empty gift cards. Think about what you actually use throughout the day, get rid of things you do not use on a daily basis. Only bring along things that you know you will use.
