Well, well. The secret is a combination of high tech and low tech. And guythink, also.
The high tech is called a smartphone. We don’t generally carry around a black book anymore – we just load the detaills into our iPhone (or HTC Touch, or whatever) and be done with it.
The low tech is called multiple pockets. And backpacks. Handbags are bad in the sense that you carry stuff with multiple levels of importance in a single place. Whereas, if you had multiple pockets (I have at least five pockets right now), you can segregate stuff in different areas. Backpacks can be used to store less important stuff, and on your back it’s not so easily stolen.
Then there’s guythink. I personally carry an MP3 player (shirt pocket), a mobile phone (hooked on belt), my wallet with money, various IDs and cards (left pants pocket), keys and coins + a hanky (right pants pocket, hanky stops the clinking heh heh) and *that’s it*. If I need something else, I go and buy it.
If I had a suit on, I’d have even more pockets. Food? That goes in my backpack – if I carry one, otherwise, I just buy it from the nearest 7-Eleven.
That’s our life right there. I might wear my keycard around my neck, but that’s all I carry around normally.
Women, on the other hand, well… you tend to carry a whole lot more stuff, you know? And we take advantage of that – my Dad just shoves a whole lot of stuff he receives to my Mum, who then puts it in her handbag.
