What items must you take with you every time you leave the house?
What items must you take with you every time you leave the house?
Above and beyond that, in my wallet I keep an emergency prescription glasses lens which I ground down to clip into a keyring.
The indent in my wallet looks like a condom LOL! But no, it’s an emergency lens in case I lose my glasses or something…
Phone + Insulin pen.
My sensor is stuck to my arm anyways, so I’m not counting that.
Nothing. Every single item is dependent of what I am doing.
If I go for a walk, the only thing I will bring with me is my dog and a leash (maybe some dog treats.)
Minimally…keys, wallet, phone. Usually I’ll wear my wedding ring unless I’m just going out to grab something and back.
So I end up counting “one, two, three, four” while touching each of these things. The problem comes when I need to bring one more thing (headphones, etc). I’ll count to four again and leave but be missing something else. My brain is terrible and I hate it.
Yes, I always carry my notarized egg currency with me…
Wallet, smartphone, headphones, 36 oz water bottle (topped off), keys if I’m driving somewhere.
Oh, and I double-check to ensure I’m fully (properly) clothed and wearing my glasses. I’ve definitely made it as far as my car, before realizing I’m still wearing pajama pants.
And my vision is not that bad, so I can roam my house without glasses. But once I hit the open road, I suddenly realize I can’t see anything.
When I was in the military, I used to carry a multitool (eg. Leatherman) on my belt everywhere I went. But now that I’m a retired civilian, it just causes problems if I need to explain why I have a knife on me.
Even though it’s a multitool, everyone just sees it as a blade. And I’d rather not have someone confiscate it. When you’re wearing a military uniform, no one questions it. But I’ve definitely been stopped in some stores because I was carrying it in civilian clothes.
My wife also bought me a lockpicking set, but I don’t know how to use it yet, so I removed it from my keychain. No sense carrying it around if I can’t use it. Maybe once day…
Phone Wallet Glasses case Keys
One for every pocket of my trousers so if something is missing I always notice on time
Wallet, phone, keys.
Keys suck ass though. I can get in through my garage or keypad on the front door. I’ve got a key hidden in case the power is out. However, I have to carry these giant blocks that let me start my truck or SUV. I hate them. I HATE carrying a giant block in my pocket. I wish I could just have an old style key to start my truck.
… yes that’s literally it !
The last one is specifically mentioned because I don’t generally wear it at home, I become way too aware of it in my hand and it starts irritating.
For same reason if I’m about to leave the house without it, I become very aware of something missing and “feeling naked” without it.
If I’m going cycling, I usually leave wallet home and instead just grab bank card and I’d card with me in fannypack with the rest items mentioned.
You know what’s misleading asshole? Straight up censorship
I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on [email protected] [/c/[email protected]]. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed
The ideal list of stuff (sometime I forget or not have time):
“Testicles, spectacles, wallet, and watch”
Keys, glasses, wallet, and phone.
Keys, phone, wallet, smokes, lighter.
That’s about it.
I have ADHD so I get rid of most problems by literally tying things to myself. I have a second belt which goers over my pants and have a hip bag attached to it. In that I have the following;
Disposable nitrile gloves (3-4 pairs)
Hand sanitiser
Power bank (10000mAh)
USB C cable
Thumb drives (one with kids shows, one with software, one blank)
USB A to C adapter
Wallet
ID lanyard
Emergency cash (not in wallet because if I lose my wallet I still have my cash)
Tissues
Aspirin, paracetamol, and ibuprofen
Ritalin
Plastic bags for rubbish
Nasal inhaler (for blocked nose, long term issue)
Car and house keys (attached on a clip, not inside)
Then I have my pockets for phones (I have 2), wireless headphones, and anything else for the day.
By keeping my keys attached I cannot get in the car without my belt bag.
Do you mean that ironically or literally?
Tbh, if I didn’t actually attach things to myself I would lose them. If I had a kid I would have a strap to connect them. When I take my cat for walkies we have a harness and lead which never leaves my hand. I have my keys set up to lock the front door from the outside so I cannot lock myself out without my keys.
ADHD can suck, but with good tools and processes it is much more manageable.

This is so relatable! Everything I need has a place in my backpack. My fannie pack also goes in my backpack because I don’t want to move items then forget them.
