# Tote vs Crossbody for the Daily Commute

My commute is train + 15-min walk, and I keep switching between a tote (everything fits, shoulder aches) and a crossbody (light, but I leave stuff behind). Which do you prefer and how do you manage? 🚆

My plan: tote for Monday/Wednesday laptop days, crossbody for the rest. Am I overcomplicating it, or is a two-bag rotation the real answer? 👜
