You really need your routines nailed down and be comfortable with nothing.

Sure, you need to be able to do without creature comforts, but most advice is to take stuff if you think you might need it. Time saved from leaving out 1/2 kg of spares or tools is pretty small compared from the time lost when you need whatever it is to fix something.
Knowing where to draw the line is the key thing!

I mean, what do they carry, one Softshell, tissues, emergency blanket, chewing gum?
Wash bibs every day? Maybe a spare part of socks?
I kind of know how it works, but it amazes me.

The moment you have spares and tools and all the zipties whatever with you there is no space in those two tiny bags!
