I carry around a messenger bag with lip balm, wet wipes, earplugs, earbuds, bandages, sunscreen, sunglasses, a respirator, a hairbrush, a phone charger, a flashlight, and a reusable shopping bag.

An Alpaka Zip Pouch with an Olight Open Mini pen, more cards, some cash and loads of small, flat stuff like band-aids, a tick remover, a round of flattened duct tape and so on
*The little magnet is a bit annoying because it attaches to all kinds of stuff that it should not. Iโm going to get something that attaches without magnets
I have a tiny pocketknife with a tiny scissor on my keyring which has come in handy countless times over the years when opening parcels or various food packaging, can reccommend.

Watch, wallet, keys, phone, BT headphones.
MEC sling bag containing: (nicest $1 store) notebook, (Sharpie and/or 0.38 mm Muji) pens. Prescription sunglasses.
Phone, keys, and handkerchief. Add a wallet if I'm leaving the house.
I carry my things in the front pockets of my jeans: on the right, just my bare Pixel 4a; on the left, my keychain (with 3 keys and 2 small tools, no car keys), my small leather wallet I bought at an artisan market many years ago and occasionally my trusty Edifier X3 earbuds.
Then, in case I make purchases and people hand me tickets (which I've been getting into the habit of refusing in advance, no need to waste paper), I stash them in one of my back pockets, typically the right one.
The layout for my left front pocket is almost always the wallet to my right, the keychain to the left and the earbud case on top of the wallet.
Additionally, I typically wear my analog wristwatch (smallish, very simple and non-flashy, matte grey metal core with lightish leather band) in my left arm and, in sunny days, wear my aviator-style glasses.
In winter, I may use a scarf and/or gloves, but it's often not necessary where I live.
Flashlight (olight arkfield pro), pocket knife (cheap, but decent amazon tanto), knipex cobra xs, a comb (chicago model 1), 2nd kickstarter titanium ridge wallet, field notebook. Add an Olfa slim utility knife and a pen at work. Sometimes a uni kuru toga. Keys. Phone.
Earplugs (in case a movie or concert etc. too loud)
Linux boot disk (I saved a friend's laptop this way once)
keys, phone (gross), credit card, ID, pads
Wallet in right front pocket (right cargo pocket if cargo pants)
Handkerchief in right front pocket (I'm a sweaty boi)
Phone in left front pocket
IEMs in ears or in my bag (backpack or tote bag) (left cargo pocket if cargo pants)
idk if bag content counts, but I also almost always have an umbrella in it.

The flashlight is a ACEBEAM Rider RX with an AA-sized rechargeable lithium battery that can be swapped for AA in an emergency. The keys include a Yubikey and thumb drive with Ventoy. Because Portland is at risk for a megathrust earthquake, I carry a whistle in case I am trapped under debris.
I also have a pouch with office supplies, eyeglass cleaner, and so on.
Daily: Phone, wallet, car/house keys
Frequently also: bike keys, yubikey, Miyoo Mini (retro handheld), pocket knife (varies, but usually a Leatherman Squirt), and a small flashlight.
