What do you Empty your Pockets into at Home?

Ha ! It's slightly different here in Vegas [people want you to tip them for looking at you], and true I failed to mention the latter and, it's not always the same person ,)

I try to keep it simple, for function and cost, and therefore do the following.

Most of my stuff I take to office is always in my bag. I place bag in room and maybe then put the few things that I have on my person in the bag as well (train ticket, access pass etc.). I keep my keys and mobile on the table.
If I need my work laptop or vpn key then when finished it goes back in my bag by default.

This way in the morning I have everything in my bag, barring my keys and mobile which are on the table.

 

i have a wooden cigar box on my dresser, that i picked up at my local smoke shop for $2. it holds everything from my pockets and keeps the stuff neat and out of the way.

 

I picked this 6 drawer cabinet up at Fred's for $25, real wood, light weight but not balsa wood.....15.5"x13.5" x 24"H without the wheels....drawer side depth is a ream of paper 2.25"

 

Man that is sweet ! Great deal !

I SO wish they sold those over here.
We can get the "proper" Gerstner chests but they cost 200-300 quid!!!!

$64!!!! Blimey! Thats only about 45 quid!!!!!!!!!!

 

after seeing these in person I had to have one as well. They really do serve well

 

I keep my edc rotation organised in a series of cigar boxes

 

I do the switch to different next day pants thing too, but not out of emergency, probably out of laziness..

 

My stuff normally just goes up on my chest of drawers which normally isn't this neat.

 

Usually it all goes on top of the fridge

 

I find the easiest thing is to sleep in my clothes. That way, I don't have to have anything to empty my stuff into.

 

I had my eye on a metal file drawer cabinet at work that had about 20 shallow drawers & wouldve been perfect for knives, lights & all manner of EDC accoutrements, BUT, even though my bosses said i could have it (as it was being thrown out) someone else took it with some scrap metal to the scrap yard & now its probably been crushed - Im gutted! What a waste!

 

Those things are hundreds of dollars, Even used . What a waste !

BE WELL .. GH

 

I know!
Im so angry & disapointed, it didnt even weigh very much, so theyd have got next-to-nothing for it as scrap.

Its my own fault for not putting a label on it saying "Save for Stu" (I usually do!!)

 

Basically everything onto the table except any loose change I happen to have which goes into a small box.

 

I use a wooden box, I found in a thrift store for £5, to store smaller items, although that Maxped travel tray keeps winking at me with come hither eyes.

 

NRA leather tray.

 

Upside-down baseball hat. This is with me when I travel, too. Occasionally when traveling I'll just dump the pockets into my backpack or messenger bag. This ensures that my things are always with me, if not on my immediate person.
