I always carry a pocket knife, a flashlight, my phone and I always wear a watch. Today:
- Victorinox Pioneer
- Fenix LD10
- Citizen BN0000-04H
- Samsung Galaxy S2 (used to make the picture)
 
The basic setup rarely changes; watch, pocket knife, flashlight and today I carry my old Leatherman in a small side pocket of my pants.

I recently bought a Fenix E11, to replace my LD10 as a EDC light. It's less thick and it's lighter than the LD10, but performs great on a standard AA-battery.

Standard carry in the Maxpedition Jumbo EDC

and this in the pocket (ring on the finger ;) ) ... but the knife changes mostly everyday. Always into traditional slippies. They are the best imo ... and sometimes a modern folder backpocket carry

Here's my (change up) EDC as of late:

Victorinox Swiss Army Craftsman and Electrician

Buck 303 Cadet

Always a Fountain Pen (varies day-to-day)
 
to lazy to take a picture.
-Sunglasses depending on clouds or no clouds.
-a CCC flipper for basic cutting tasts untill my BM51 gets here.
-Cowon J3 MP3 player
-Beyerdynamic DT1350 headphones
-Levi LE leather magnetic money clip and wallet combo. Works very well as a money clip and wont break due to the magnetic latch.
-Old Samsung tss5 flip open phone
-Fossil watch
-Amazon Kindle, because you never know when you're going to need a book.
-Nikon coolpix OR D3100 depending on where I'm going.

the kindle isn't a cemented thing but everything else is.
 
As for knives and gadgets, one of my folding buck knives, a pocket knife key chain and an LED flashlight keychain.

My mobile phone and wallet.
 
More darn crap than I should...

Wallet
Keys
Sunglasses if its sunny and daytime
Phone
Leatherman Juice
1-3 knives depending on mood and the pants I'm wearing
watch...

All of it everyday, everywhere.... and if it was possible to CCW here I'd do that too, but while its a theoretical possibility its virtually impossible to get the permit...

Sharpie
Fisher Space Pen
Spyderco Rescue Jr in ATS-55

Plus some sort of folder (Delica, Endura, Griptilian...)
 
Usually this but sometimes I don't have the light on me. I preferred my old Preon 2 but I kept actuating the tailcap by accident when it was clipped inside my pocket.

Everyday: Glock .40 (which one depends on what I'm doing), spare mag, phone, Emerson CQC 10, Fenix PD20, wallets

If I'm working, add: cuffs, mini-baton, Ruger LCP
 
At work I just carry a para 2 s35vn, I have all the other tools I need within arms reach. Outside of work I like to have a flashlight, (streamlight microstream) a multitool, (juice c2) a paracord bracelet, and of course a ka-nif. Usually an endura 4 ffg, or an izula 2. Of course I always have a SAK classic on the keys. I don't generally need the out of work gear, but I like to be prepared.

How do you tote this, if you don't mind me asking, Is it pocketable comfortably? I have been looking for a small pocket organizer to keep flashlight, mulitool and other bits.

I wear it on my belt, usually a stiff, sturdy belt, like a Blackhawk! or 511. Doesn't get in the way too much.
