What are you taking to work that requires carrying 2-3 bags everyday?

1. I take my small crossbody bag every day. Some days if I have multiple large items I take an extra bag (but definitely not an everyday thing), like yesterday I needed to take a large notebook, lunch, and it was raining so I didn’t want to juggle those loose items + an umbrella.

   It’s easier to add a bag than to transfer all my stuff from my everyday bag to a bigger one. That *always* leads to forgetting one important thing that I’ll need that day. I might also take an overnight bag if I’m sleeping somewhere that isn’t my home.

2. Laptop, lunch, shoes to wear in the office (wearing sneakers for the commute), a book to read & my gym clothes.

3. Backpack with laptop and attachments, lunch/snacks; regular purse with wallet, notebook, basic other purse stuff; gym bag or tote bag if I have anything that doesn’t fit in my backpack.

4. My backpack with the laptop and work stuff, my handbag with wallet, keys, glasses etc, my sports backpack since I go in the morning directly before work, and my lunchbag.

6. I have:

   Laptop bag with laptop, cables and some documents I might need for reference

   Rucksack with notebook, pencil case, kindle, lunch, drink, lip balm, purse, keys, fidgets, etc

   Tote bag with various toys, art & craft materials etc I may use that day (I work with kids)

7. I sometimes have to take sensitive documents home for work so I have a locking briefcase I need to lug around.

   The other bag has my work laptop, my lunch, and a coat because my work thinks 70F is room temperature.

8. I travel for a living so my personal suitcase, my work suitcase, and my work tote 😂 I also carry a duffle bag. So 4 bags to go to work.

9. Personal purse/ backpack, lunch and a big water bottle. Sometimes my work backpack with my laptop if i happen to bring it home the day before

10. purse, laptop backpack, lunch box

11. My purse with all of my necessary items, my bag with all my school stuff, my lunch. So three bags everyday

12. Purse, laptop/work bag, gym bag

13. my work tools in a backpack: clippers, blades, scissors, work shoes, work pants and shirt, brushes

    my purse: book, earphones, wallet, cash budget binder, portable charger, toiletries pouch, a couple snacks or small lunch

14. When I used to go into an actual office for work, I had my bag with my laptop, my lunch, and my gym bag so I could work out.

15. When I’ve done so, it was usually:

    * laptop bag/briefcase of work items
    * daily purse/handbag with my id, money, phone
    * extra clothes for gym/after work activities
    * lunch/food

16. I absolutely HATE having to carry things in my hands so I always have at least 2 bags on me. One is a tote that has my purse and a lot of random shit sprinkled in, & another is my backpack but I have 2 backpacks that I use but switch up depending on what I carry.

    One is an everyday backpack that I may use to carry my notebook, laptop, & camera & the other backpack I use to carry my laptop since it’s huge, has a fleece coated laptop compartment & fits my heavy ass notebook.

17. Laptop and accessories, work clothes and shoes (because I’m wearing my cycling clothes), toiletries bag, small towel, lunch, handbag with wallet etc. I don’t travel light haha

18. My laptop, my lunch and the usual purse crap. Unfortunately the laptop bag provided by my job is too small to fit my lunch into.

19. Lunch and a new bag that I specifically bought to fit my notary log.

20. Laptop and all accessories …. We do not have lockers or assigned desks.

    And then lunch, snacks, change of shoes, umbrella, etc.

21. Today I had my day to day work bag, with paperwork, lunch, water bottle, charger etc also had my gym bag (I go to my work gym) and then my laptop bag. I don’t have all 3 every day, but today i fit the 3 bag category

22. Lunch bag (water bottle, coffee, snacks), go-to bag (keys, phone, wipes, floss, etc), work bag (laptop, pens, notebooks, papers, etc)

23. I bring my purse so I have access to my medications, some snacks, a water bottle, my wallet, etc. I also need a laptop bag. On the off chance I bring lunch I’d need another bag, but since I only go to the office once per week and lunch is less than $5, I never pack one.
