  • spare glasses
  • usb drive (never needed) or sd card
  • fake finger for touch screens
  • smemo for reminders
  • stickers for books

— 4-7 pencils with a clip + eraser please (As of 2023, I want to deploy more ikea pencils):

  1. hangable is much needed in (crammed) flight seat. Better keep a spare (in spinner)
  2. proven: put one wood pencil in seat pocket in front
  3. proven: one in pouch
  4. optionally one in breast pocket
  5. optionally one spare in backpack side pocket
  6. optionally one spare in backpack top pocket, but this complicates passport storage
  7. optionally one spare in wife’s big luggage

What’s the problem of carrying 30 pencils?

  • too many unused… but look, I do carry 100 times more than 1cm of string. So this is not the real problem
  • financial cost of loss/discard .. but they are free from office
  • total weight .. is the real problem
