Kick-ass thread! Love getting these glimpses into what we all take
with us when roaming about.
I'll play as well...
Everywhere:
iPhone + headphones
wallet (sometimes there's business cards in there - I tend to be
horrible about carrying them!)
pen
small pad of paper (usually just scraps stapled together)
chapstick
pile of hair ties (I've got a lot of it)
To/from work:
15" macbook + cord
moleskin planner
business cards
shades
various bills/bits of paperwork I think I'll actually get to if I
carry them around
another pile of hair ties
water bottle
coffee cup

I’m just curious… where are you studying and what is the degree you are seeking?
And, for me I love using a netbook just because I am on the go a lot and it is super easy to throw it in a big purse.
That being said when I have a big project I am loaded down with papers, books, colored markers and a sketchpad at the least for good old-fashioned brainstorming.

Hi,
As some of you know I am yet another student intrigued by coworking and doing my thesis on the topic of mobile work. I am in the process of designing a few products for this venture and was wondering what most mobile workers carried with them on a daily basis when you leave the house? Please let me know what you carry with you when you have a chance. I am interested!

Why do you carry your passport? I’d be scared to bring mine along everywhere!
Also, note to self - NEVER forget laptop cables. I’m at my office (I am hotdesking at The Network Hub in Vancouver, Canada) and I am power-less. Well, on battery. sigh blame it on the Mondays.

Why I carry my passport: You never know when you’re going to need to skip the country on a moment’s notice.

If I'm taking public transport, I cannot go without my ebook (Sony
PRS-505). I'm putting all the big posts (more than 5 paragraphs) that
I don't have time to read in my RSS Reader. It's a good way to
optimise my time.

I've been running my business out of Tacoma's Co-working site,
(Suite133.com) for 8 month's now. I've always been a big believer in
traveling light and have worked my way down to some bare essentials.
- Macbook Air
- iPhone
- Bose noise canceling headset - for when I need to tune out the
world around me and really focus (or for when I just can't stand what
the stereo in the office is playing)
- A small pouch of cables to connect my laptop and phone to various
devices.
- Pen & a stack of 3x5 cards
- Business cards and fliers since I never know who I'll run into.
- Small umbrella/rain coat (it is the pacific northwest)
- Cash
One collection of items that are as important to me as my laptop is
the software I use. Notational Velocity for all personal note taking.
Evernote for collecting information (it syncs between my laptop,
iPhone and online account), NetNewsWire for organizing all my RSS
feeds (I scan ~350 feeds a day), and Twitter for following others in
my industry as well at various thought leaders and others from whom I
derive inspiration.
I’m going to list the current contents of my messenger bag to you with no filter b/c I’m super annoyed by the Lifehacker “what’s in your bag” posts where it’s all neat and lovely and cords are wrapped up and they don’t have a dirty tissue or feminine product pictured. eyeroll
iphone
wallet with cards, id, biz receipts, chapstick, pen, imitrex migraine medication, 2 foam earplugs
bottle of advil
a lipstick I never wear
a black fine point sharpie
a notebook I don’t use
checkbook
12 2 hour free coupons to Cohere Bandwidth
6 business cards I’ll never hand out
a business card a lawyer gave me 2 months ago
a card that has the bus stops on it
a spare parking permit
a pack of gum
a travel pack of tissue
2 tampons
14" Chromebook
a to-do list I forgot to do
