• Your gear gets thrashed fast & this is not a skate video 
• You get a thrill out of planning & being efficient

In this series we'll showcase our favorite tools and techniques for... what's that? A well organized life! This time, our focus is how to effortlessly carry our everyday daily-use desktop goods from home to school, work and back again.

Figure out exactly what you need and get it.
