I usually carry round a fairly substantial shoulder bag with handy compartments containing: keys, home and work, and work pass; mobile phone; purse with cash + emergency migraine medication; wallet with plastic money; senior travel card; gym membership card; ebook reader; little wallet with various library/membership cards; a couple of USB sticks; assorted painkillers, indigestion tablets, throat soothers; small scissors and emery board (being in a job where one may well break the occasional nail); pens, pencils etc, which tend to drift to the very bottom and never be where I'm looking for them when I need one. And probably various bits and pieces that I should clear out or do something about.
On the whole this is manageable under circumstance when most of the time my bag is sitting around somewhere, but while we were away and out and about most days, after a day I was seriously going through and removing things from my canvas travelling shoulder bag that could be left behind when we were perambulating art galleries and so on.
Most days I also have either a backpack with my exercise gear (so that I can go to the gym on my way home), iPod, umbrella, or a shopping bag.
