You\u2019re in the middle of class or a meeting, and you are asked to bring out a pen. But\u2014after an hour of fumbling through your bag, you realize that you have forgotten your pen at home.<\/p>\n

How often does this scenario happen to you? Not only with pens, but with other items such as your phone, a comb or even reading glasses. No matter what preparation you do at night, you will always forget to list down one small but significant thing in your checklist.<\/p>\n

So how do you avoid this? Here\u2019s a list of essential things you should bring everyday, and things you ought to leave at home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

DO:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bring your wallet, your ID, and your phone\u2014these are the three main things that you could use in emergencies. Just to be safe, never forget to pack these things in your bag.<\/li>\n
  2. Important Files\u2014 May it be homework or papers for a client, always make sure that you have them ready.<\/li>\n
  3. Personal Medicine- Especially when you have allergies or asthma, you should never forget to bring your medication with you, just in case.<\/li>\n
  4. A travel charger\u2014handheld solar chargers may cost a bit more than a normal charger, but it\u2019s worth it especially when you\u2019re out on a trip and your phone suddenly goes dead.<\/li>\n
  5. An extra pen would come in handy, too.<\/li>\n
  6. A small emergency kit\u2014containing alcohol and bandages. You never know when a small accident could happen, so it is best to be ready.<\/li>\n
  7. A small Swiss army knife\u2014for self defense and convenience too.<\/li>\n
  8. A small bottle of water, for long trips.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    DON\u2019T<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Bring bulky items\u2014other than add to the space in your bag, it would give off a lot of weight, too.<\/li>\n
    2. Bring things that you wouldn\u2019t use for the whole day.<\/li>\n
    3. Bring fragile items such as glass.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      So, there you have it. But with all of these in mind- make sure that you pack the most essential things: Common sense and the right mind to think.<\/p>\n
