    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.

    It’s funny, for years my list was keys, wallet, and phone, and of those it’s the keys that go back the furthest. I had a key to my parents house when I was a young teen, and I’ve always carried keys with me since (I’m in my 60s now). I sold my house a couple months ago, and I’ve been living in a hotel until I close on a condo, and it feels so strange not to own any keys now, just the key card for the hotel.

    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.

        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.

    I keep most of my “EDC” stuff in my bag — chapstick, keys, hand sani, etc.

    If I’m going out for a while and I expect it to get dark, I like to pack a flashlight.

    I used to carry a knife but sometimes it makes going into bars and clubs awkward so I usually leave it at home now

    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

      BRUH, I’d worry about people stealing it. Couldn’t even concentrate on whatever game it is.

    Wallet, phone, keys.

    Keys suck ass though. I can get in through my garage or keypad on the front door. I’ve got a key hidden in case the power is out. However, I have to carry these giant blocks that let me start my truck or SUV. I hate them. I HATE carrying a giant block in my pocket. I wish I could just have an old style key to start my truck.
