Do you have to carry that stuff in your pockets? Can you keep them in a separate (as you put it) "little bag" that you could then just throw in your panniers? That's what I do, I have one pannier that stays on the bike with tools/etc in it, and then a "go with me" bag that has a big pocket for lunch/clothes and a separate smaller pocket where I keep my keys/wallet/ phone. I don't take that stuff out unless I need it, and since it's a business pannier, I just take it into the office with me. That way, the only stuff that needs packing are lunch and clothes.
