What do you have in your pocketses? Or to be more useful, what stuff do you carry with you?

For the purposes of this thread, I'm going to answer for a casual clothing day. If I'm in formal clothing, I carry most of the same stuff, but distribute it differently. So -

Left trouser pocket: Mobile phone and packet of tissues
Right trouser pocket: Meds, in one of those containers with four compartments for different times of day, and a small bag of dog treats
Right jacket pocket or right waist pocket of my backpack: Oyster card (smart card for the London transport system), wallet
Left jacket pocket or left waist pocket: Anti-nausea meds (not used often enough to go in the regular meds container), keys with torch keyfob, spectacle wipe
Top pocket of backpack: E-reader (often also goes in the left jacket pocket), spare laces, emergency snacks
Front pocket of backpack: usually empty during the week, but at the weekend often a first aid kit and map wallet (with compass if needed) for hiking
Right side pod of backpack: water bottle
Left side pod of backpack: umbrella or spare water bottle, depending on weather forecast
Main body of backpack: Spare layers of clothing as called for by weather forecast, anything else required for the day's planned activities


Ways you make things like waiting for laundry at the laundromat or waiting for car repairs more enjoyable.

I meditate. Sure, it's not the deep kind of trance I can get on my own in a semi-dark, silent room, but it's good enough to make a positive difference to my day.
