What Do You Bring to Work Each Day?

It’s been years since we’ve talked about what you bring on your work schlep (and our discussions on what’s in your bag) — but for today let’s focus on work: If you’re heading to the office, what are you making sure is in your bag? If you’re hybrid between in office and remote, what do you bring? And finally — if your company doesn’t do assigned desks (aka hot desking), what do you bring?
Things I’m wondering about: Office essentials? Laptop? Lunch? Snacks? Workout clothes? Date night clothes? Makeup for after work? Do you bring in some things at the beginning of the week (lunch items or extra clothes) and then take them home at the end of the week? What lives at the office and what do you bring with you? (Also, how many bags and do you have any favorites for your various purposes?)
I’ve mentioned before that I’m a fan of the Trapper Keeper for Adults, the polished padfolio — if only so (if working in a conference room or headed to a lengthy meeting) I have lip gloss, some cash, tape flags and Post-it notes and my preferred pen… but the padfolio was always kept at the office; I can see it being a bit bulky to schlep into work each day.
I’ve also been a fan of the “large tote + smaller bag inside,” whether that smaller bag is a lightweight crossbody (love my ones from Rothy’s), a wristlet, or just a makeup bag or pouch.
Readers, over to you — what do you bring to work each day? How has it changed throughout your career?
