What's in your everyday bag and why?

Today here in beautiful Sydney I have my work laptop, a trusty Moleskine, my phone that's synced to work and personal emails, and a book. The bag is BOSS Orange. Unless I'm in an unfamiliar town, which I'm not, I'll have a book or newspaper on me for quieter moments, otherwise I'm all about exploring with a smallish camera in hand or at least my iPhone. I sometimes forget where I am or find three months later I can't recall what I've seen where, so I tend to whip out a phone or camera whenever possible, including the workplace.

What's your minimum must-carry?

Keys, wallet, sunnies, iPhone and a Moleskine for all work and personal matters. I actually can't keep a uniform bag - my days and weeks vary dramatically. Weekends particularly, I'm often hands-free and bag-free, but I'd like to carry a decent camera at all times.

Any tips for getting things done anywhere?

Adapt to the environment. Last week I was in Hong Kong and on this trip, surprisingly, I had a lot of time on my hands to sightsee, sample street food and shop. It's quite hilly in parts, so I had a reasonably small camera on me – an [Olympus] OMD – a Moleskine, and phone. That was more than enough carry for all the walking I did and all out of office work was done on phone and email. So, know your priorities, what's possible to do where you're going and carry accordingly.
