6 Ways to Transition Your Bag from Busy Workday to Weekend Fun
Life is a balancing act, especially when you’re juggling a busy work schedule along with your plans for weekend fun with the family. When you’re always on the go, you need your bag to keep up with you! Here are ways you can easily transition your tote from business to pleasure, so you can stay organized and ready for whatever your day brings.
1. Find the Right Tote
This is a critical first step! Finding your ideal tote bag that can go with you anywhere is key. Some prefer the casual look and easy wipe-ability of the Transit Tote while others love the classic style of the Signature Tote. And some like to go the backpack route to stay fully hands-free from work to weekend.
2. Organize with Pouches
Use Zipper Pouches to keep your work essentials organized. Store your pens, chargers, and small tech gadgets in these pouches for easy access throughout your workday. Then swap out your work essentials for weekend must-haves. Use other pouches to carry sunscreen, snacks, and personal items. This way, you can quickly transition your bag without having to reorganize everything.
3. Use a Versatile Wallet
The All About the Benjamins Wallet is perfect for keeping your work ID, credit cards, and business cards in one place, and it fits neatly inside your work bag. For the weekend you can add a wristlet strap and use it as a small clutch. When you need to run a quick errand, you can just carry the wallet instead of bringing along your whole bag.
4. Don’t Forget Your Lunch Bag
You can dual-purpose your lunch bag, too! We love the Let’s Lunch Cooler since it fits perfectly inside the Transit Tote, making it easy to carry your lunch to and from the office. But it’s roomy enough for weekend uses, too. Pack it with drinks to carry to a neighborhood BBQ, carry baby bottles and snacks when you’re out with the kids, or even use it as a road trip snack bag in the car.
5. Keep Separate Bag Organizers
Changing a bag from work to weekend can be as simple as swapping out the organizer you keep inside of it! Use the Commuter Tote Organizer to keep your laptop, tablet, accessories, and work documents organized in your work bag. When the weekend rolls around, swap it out for the Tote Bag Organizer that can hold your book or Kindle, kids’ snacks, keys, wallet, and a water bottle.
6. Use Accessories Wisely
Something as simple as a Cord Wrap Keychain can help you transition from work to weekend easily. Clip it to the outside of your bag and during the week, keep your earbuds or charging cords organized and ready for a busy day of work. On the weekends, the keychain can be used to keep extra hair ties close at hand, or to even clip a baseball cap to your bag for sunny outdoor activities.
