This doesn't exactly solve the problem, but I chose my current daypack specifically because it is not too big: with a large bag, I kept tossing things in and leaving them there, and the bag would get heavier and heavier. The current bag is big enough for the stuff I talked about above and a bit of other miscellany, but small enough that I can't just toss in another two books without pulling a bunch of other things out.
This thread has also reminded me that I need to do a bag-culling fairly soon; I almost certainly don't need to be carrying tubes of both hand lotion and sunscreen, for example. (Yes, three ounces each, but enough small numbers add up to a large one.)
