I’ve been trying to keep things minimal / useful when it comes to what I carry around in my pockets or bag. Recently I’ve re-done my keys.

I have 3 little command hooks stuck on the wall in my kitchen. The first hook has my front door key attached a Nite Ize Cinch-A-Lot Mini Stretch Strap. If I’m just going for a walk, that’s the only key I would need so I just grab that and put it in my pocket

The next hook has my car key fob on a tiny splitring. The last hook has a slightly bigger split ring with my back door key and keys for my Mam’s and sister’s houses.

So some of the time I just need my house key if I’m just walking somewhere. Sometimes I’ll be driving, so I take the car key and attach it to the little S-carabiner on the Cinch-a-lot. If I need to let myself into a family member’s house for whatever reason, I can add that larger keyring on that odd occasion.

So I get to just carry around the smallest keychain that I need, without making things too complex with regards to swapping things in and out.

The cinch-a-lot has an elastic loop which is big enough to get a couple of fingers through so it’s nice to use to be able to get your keys out of your pocket, or I could potentially fasten it around a belt loop. Because it has the little metal slider I could potentially use it to attach something else to the keys, like my Airpods or something, although I can’t really imagine wanting to do that. Some of the reviews of the cinch-a-lot said that the locking thingy on the s-biner was a bit fiddly to use, I don’t find that to be the case but I have tiny hands so maybe that’s why I don’t have an issue.

I am liking this new setup though. Takes up the minimum amount of space in my pocket and it’s very slim so there’s as little bulk as possible, and it’s easy to swap keys in and out as needed
