Clean Out Your Baggage Regularly
No need to carry around more than you need to.
I hate carrying around any more junk that I really need to. When I run for a train or have to stand around waiting for a delayed train, I don't need the extra weight hanging on my shoulder or back. It just makes the whole experience more annoying than it needs to be.
I'm notorious for leaving extra junk in my bag no matter how hard I try to take it out. I regularly toss notes in my bag during the work day and forget to take them out when I get home. Those papers and knickknacks add up. And since I try to carry a somewhat small bag (for a girl at least), the more junk in my bag, the harder it is to shove more stuff in there.
So at least once a week, or even more frequently when I remember, I look through my bag to clear out the strays. Cleaning out your bag helps keep the "bag upside-down" mess to a minimum too. And, on the horrible occasion that your bag goes missing, there's less stuff lost for that matter. That reminds me, I should run and give my bag a once-over before I get sidetracked.
