I'm full-remote, so this is my general "I'm going somewhere and want to be lightly prepared" bag, rather than something I actually carry everyday. I'd take this to the coffeeshop if I actually needed something in it, etc. I'd also take this with me if I traveled, but with a packing cube or two of clothes also slipped in. * My laptop (MacBook Pro 16") * A pack of charging supplies (this is my covers-everything pack for extended travel, so it's a charging brick and enough cables to charge my laptop, phone, and watch, and a battery for emergencies) * My kindle * (Situationally) my Steam Deck (in a JSAUX ModCase, which greatly slims down its space needs compared to the bundled case) * A bunch of OTC medications -- painkillers, mostly -- all jumbled as bare pills into a single small pill case * Emergency snacks, generally RxBar protein bars * Some pens and pencils, which honestly I almost never use but feel I should have * Water bottle * Umbrella * A grid fleece layer, in case I'm in a very aggressively cooled coffee shop * A jumble of miscellaneous small supplies in a small pocket: glasses cleaning cloth, toothpicks, tissues, etc * An AirTag Currently all in a Mystery Ranch Catalyst 26 <https://www.mysteryranch.com/catalyst-26-pack https://www.mysteryranch.com/catalyst-26-pack> (it could all fit into a much smaller bag, but that's the size with a separate laptop pocket). I've been thrown off by my work standardizing on the MacBook Pro 16", when I'd far rather have the 14" for easier carry.
