The problem isn’t your workload. It’s the friction.

Most chaos in a founder’s day happens between tasks—packing, relocating, resetting. A structured carry removes friction so your focus survives the switch.

Why structure wins

- Exterior calm: Slim, balanced silhouettes that look sharp in meetings and shoot well on camera.

- Interior order: Bright linings and mapped compartments—charger here, notebook there, passport sealed.

- One-hand access: Quick sleeve for laptop, zipped pocket for cables, easy stash for phone + boarding pass.

- Balanced weight: Reinforced handles and strap points sized for real-world loads.

Time math that compounds

- 90 seconds saved at every reset (desk → meeting → car → airport) × 10 resets/day = 15 minutes/day.

- 15 minutes/day × 220 workdays = 55 hours/year reclaimed—without a single productivity app.

The 72-hour test

London → Dubai → New York with one briefcase, one tote. No rummaging, no cable spaghetti, no “where’s my adapter?” panic. The takeaway: structure isn’t aesthetic; it’s operations.

How to pack the Royston way (quick checklist)

1. Laptop & charger in the main sleeve.

2. Cables coiled and clipped—no free wires.

3. Notebook + pen in the front partition.

4. Passport + cards zipped (never loose).

5. Earbuds case + mouse in a small tech pouch.

6. Folded robe (or tee) in tote for overnight resets.
