It is nice to carry just a small bag.

Today I came to work carrying only my "pared-down bag."

The contents are as follows:
•Wallet
•Checkbook
•Keys
•Umbrella
•Small Ziploc baggie with medication and bandaids for thumb
•One pad and 4 tampons

Observations so far:
It is nice to carry just a small bag.
I feel lighter.
I haven't been in need of anything that I would have had in the big backpack except for a Q-tip to itch my ears, but that could easily be remedied by bringing a box of Q-tips to work.
It was easy to find my money and my bus pass.
So far, I like it.

Exciting stuff, huh?

That is an impressively small amount of stuff! I'm so proud of you! I'll be interested to see how well it goes. What helps me is to put receipts in my pocket instead of shoving them into my purse. That way, when I take off my clothes, I assess the receipts, toss the ones I can toss, and keep the ones that need keeping, but they don't clutter up my purse. Oh great, now I'm dispensing womanly advice like "Women's Day" or something...
