Favourite organising tools #15 – tote bags
Sunday, May 31st, 2009
My love for bags are well, well documented all over this blog.
But tote bags are also one of my favourite organising tools.
Here’s the bag I take into the gym with my towel and water. I use the mesh bag to hold money for the parking meter, the parking stub and my car keys, because I hate scrambling around in the dark for things.
Sometimes if I’m really hungry I’ll throw an apple in here too to eat the minute I finish the class. Remember I’m pregnant and the babies don’t like to wait for food.
Then I have another tote bag for my gym clothes. I usually go straight after work so I get dressed at work and then drive to the gym.
I also have other tote bags dotted around the house for:
- to go to work (usually full of food (!) and healthy snacks)
- library books
- things to be returned to people (nice and vague)
- books to go to the second hand bookstore
- etc.
Do you use a lot of tote bags? What do you use them for?
