The best ideas to stay organized in the chaotic everyday life of university
Tidy Bag = Tidy Mind
Everyday university life requires not only attentiveness and stress resistance, but also a great deal of good organization. And that doesn't just apply to our thinking. We should also keep our bags organized to keep a clear head. Everyone knows the situation when you just want to quickly grab a pen, but first have to fight through the jungle of old receipts, gum wrappers, tissues, and notes. After you've spread everything out in front of you, the missing friend finally appears after ages—assuming we even packed it...
Tip 1
Courage for minimalism – less is more
Courage to be minimal – less is more. Think carefully about what you REALLY need in a normal university day. That old teddy bear will still bring you luck from home ;) And you won't need your gloves with you in spring either. Usually, just one or two pens are enough. You don't need 20 felt-tip pens and colored pencils. And leave that thick folder at home where everything is filed. Let's be honest, how often do you leaf through it at university? Sure, it's great to have everything filed away when studying at home. But you really don't need to have ALL your notes with you all the time.
What you should always have with you:
- A pad, a notebook or your laptop
- A reliable pen
- Some money
- Key
- handkerchiefs
- Food and Drink
- Painkillers (2-3 are enough; you don't need the whole pack.)
Girls in particular often have a lot Carry cosmetics or skincare items like hand cream. I personally always did, but never actually used them. So consider whether you really need everything; maybe just concealer and deodorant will suffice.
Tip 2
The right bag
As you can see, you don't actually need that much. That's why you don't need a huge bag where everything will get lost anyway. However, it should be sturdy and durable in case you do need to carry a heavy book. And your It should offer sufficient protection for your laptop . A good, durable leather bag is ideal. The color choice is entirely up to you! Ideally, you'll keep your bag for several years, so it's best to choose colors that always work, like black or brown.
The Messenger Bag
We always recommend the Classic messenger bags . They look great, are practical, and will likely never go out of style. This truly guarantees you a companion for life. While they are very classic, there are now so many different designs that you're guaranteed to find one that suits you and won't get lost in the crowd. They also come in different sizes. In our shop, you'll find a wide selection of other models besides these two. Upon request, We can also personalize it with your name or initials.
The teacher's bag or briefcase
If you like it classic and simple, you will be happy with a Teacher's bags are ideal. They are made of sturdy saddle leather and can easily withstand everyday university life. Their interior layout is designed for university. They are usually divided into two main compartments, perfect for storing your laptop and notes. They are also very practical for separating your food and drinks from important documents. You can also find these bags in our shop. Have it customized . This way, you're guaranteed to have something special.
The backpack
You are also welcome to a backpack This is the first choice, especially if you're carrying a lot of heavy things and want to protect your back. The weight is distributed across both shoulders and is naturally healthier than a heavy shoulder bag. And backpacks aren't what they used to be. Today, there are truly beautiful models that won't make you look like a turtle. Take our ETON model, for example.
The inner workings
An important point is not only the outward appearance of the bag, but also its interior. It should have various interior compartments or dividers so that everything stays organized and in its place. An external pocket can also be useful for keeping particularly important things quickly at hand. However, only you can find the right layout for you. Consider how many compartments you need. Too many can also be detrimental if you have to search through them all first. Think about what you want to have quickly at hand and sort it into easily accessible places. Things that you don't use that often, like (hopefully ;)) painkillers, can be stored in interior pockets, for which you first have to open the main compartment to even get to them. Such places are also suitable for valuable items, like your money or train ticket. If you're taking a laptop with you, make sure your bag is big enough for it and ideally has a separate compartment for it. Otherwise, you can also store it in a Laptop sleeve stow away.
Tip 3
Everything in its place
Another useful tip is to pack things that belong together in small separate bags. This way, you can always put your makeup items in a small cosmetic bag. You can also create a small bag like this for your first-aid kit. The practical thing about it: You no longer waste time changing your bag. When you get home from university and want to leave with a different bag, you simply repack your small first-aid kit and have everything with you. No need to reorganize.
In our shop you will find, for example, these models:

Practical helpers - cable ties
To finally put an end to the clutter of headphones, special cable ties or clips are ideal. These aren't the typical cable ties you'd find at a hardware store, of course. You can buy some nice ones or simply make them yourself. They usually close with a snap fastener. You'll find plenty of instructions and ideas on Pinterest.
Key rings
Also very helpful are Key rings or snap hooks. Especially in larger bags, you won't have to spend ages rummaging around outside your front door for your keys. Many bags come with these key rings or carabiners built in, but you can also attach them separately, for example, to the zipper of the inside pocket. This way, you'll always find your keys quickly and won't accidentally lose them while rummaging around!
Jute bag
If you don't like carrying large bags around, it's also a good idea to always pack a cloth bag. If you want to do a quick shopping trip after work, for example, you don't have to stuff everything into your bag; you can simply pull out your jute bag. It's really practical, and it takes up hardly any space in your bag!
You'll surely come up with many more practical helpers - just let your creativity run wild!
Tip 5
discipline
Try to keep your bag organized.
As Grandma always said: Order is half of life. And it's simply true. If you keep things organized, you'll save yourself a lot of time and stress.

Kind regards, your Michelle
