Like Melanie Parker in “One Fine Day,” I desire to develop an incredible hero outfit from the contents of my bag.

Or, in this case, a backpack.

I wish to have a treat available for those days when I forgot to consume it as I rushed out the door. I want all my books, notes, and whatever else I need for class. However, I need to be able to bring my knapsack without pushing a wheelbarrow.

I’ve found a system that works well for me. I have a spot on the side of my workspace that houses my books and supplies for school. Each night, I grab all the books and materials I require for the following day and put them into my knapsack.

Considering that mornings are a mess, I need this packed the night before. I ensure I have whatever I need. I like to fill out homework that can be done later– in case I find extra time.

Technology has made things more compact, so instead of a CD player and my folder of French CDs, I have filled them onto my iPod, conserving space and weight. As you pack your knapsack, search for things you don’t require and want to h. Decide what is needed and what can wait till you return house.

Load whatever so you know where to find it, and it is secure. Ensure you can carry it around on your back without requiring a chiropractic doctor at the end of the week.

And if you can still suit that extra treat, you’ll probably appreciate it later.

Each night, I get all the books and supplies I require for the following day and put them into my backpack.

I like to pack research that can be done later– in case I find additional time.

As you load your backpack, look for things you do not need and want to have.
