Daily Must Haves: Work Edition

I work from home working two jobs as many of you know. I am a full time blogger and I also own my own Social Media Company. Both of these things have me on the go a lot and working from places such as my office, living room, bedroom, any local Coffee Shop(Ascension is my favorite) and sometimes my car at stoplights. I wanted to share my daily must haves that I could not get through the work day without.

 

Daily Work Essentials

1. First and foremost at home I have a mug collection that could rival most coffee shops. I always start out the day making a latte in my Keurig with a fun and silly mug.

2. When I am on the go I need 4 things both on the go and at home: My iPad, a great notebook(ashley brooke designs) are my favorites, my Simplified Planner which I have talked about several times and my favorite le pen pens. These things make sure I stay on top of my work, appointments, meetings, blog posts and if I have a great idea for a post I can write it down in a flash. Plus they are all easily throw in a purse or tote.

3. My Macbook Pro was a new purchase this year. I had an older macbook for about 5 years that finally crapped out on me. I am always on my macbook pro at home unless I am working in my office where I am currently writing this post. Then I am on my Mac Desktop. Mac computers are just the best. Apple for life.

4. I am always cold even in the Texas Summers I take light zip up with me everywhere. My favorites are from Zella and Lululemon and I have quite the collection. The Zella jacket above I purchased at Nordstrom rack and it has lasted me years.

5. After all the talking on the phone I do all day with clients my lips get super dry. My favorite way to nip this in the bud is to use First Aid Beauty lip therapy. I keep one in my purse and one at my desk in my office so that no matter what my lips are always in good shape.

6. Finally after years of telling myself my eyes were fine I now know I need to be wearing my glasses. Not to drive but anything that has to do with writing, reading, typing, or being on my phone. So I opted for a cute pair of Kate Spade frames.

This is how I get through my day and make sure I always have my must haves on hand.

What are your daily must haves?

  1. That mug is WAY too cute. I have a blossoming mug collection now too, and I think my collection needs this one! And I still need to lose my ABD v-card, too…

    My planner, a notebook and pens are something I always have with me too! Oh and my Kindle! You never know when you’ll have a little down time and have a chance to read. Happy Friday!

    Totally with you on Apple for life. I love my Macbook and iPhone. I’m such a notebook and pen hoarder. I have quite the collection and somehow keep acquiring them!

  5. All of these are daily must have for me too! Except I’m not a Mac user. But I’ve been thinking of making the switch. Just can’t decide. I need to also get better at wearing my glasses when I’m on the computer…

  9. I love mugs. My son kept breaking them, but we hide the rest now :). You are right! You NEED them if you work at home.

    I can never find a pen in our house, but we have tons of freshly-sharpened pencils. I try to have paper & a writing instrument + something to read + water whenever I leave the house.
