Remember Things to Bring

The first hack in Mind Performance Hacks: Tips & Tools for Overclocking Your Brain is for using a mnemonic to remember what to bring when you go out, and mentions a few mnemonic methods to help. In the See Also section, the author mentions that he carries a man-purse to help him with all the stuff he likes to bring when he leaves the house. While I haven't made it far enough to get a man-purse, I regularly carry a backpack around, and when I don't have that, I usually make sure I have cargo shorts so that I can stuff things in my pocket. But reflecting a bit more and what I usually like to carry (i.e., a couple books), the backpack is often too large and the pockets often too small. So I think I'm going to break down and buy me a man-purse. Or just start using the tote bag I got from YAPC::NA 2007 that I've neglected to use.
