What’s in my work bag? A whole lot of stuff! I’m of the thinking that it’s better to be prepared and have what I need for a day’s work than to not have something. I’ll admit I probably way over-pack my work bag, but since it’s a 20 minute drive to work, it would really stink to have to turn around to go back for things I carry on a daily basis and risk being late for work. Here’s what I carry in my work bag:
iPhone Charger, Charger Adapter + Lightning Cable, iPhone Charger Charging Cable Compatible iPhone X 8 8 Plus 7 7 Plus 6 6S 6 Plus 5S SE iPod iPad Mini Air Pro (White)Adecco LLC Portable Contact Lens Case Travel Kit Mirror +bottle + tweezers Container Holder (black)Roaring Spring Paper Products 74100 Roaring Spring Enviroshades 8.5Pill Box – Lizimandu Compact 3 Compartment Medicine Case, Pill Box for Pocket or Purse(Cystal2)BIC Cristal Xtra Smooth Pens Blue Medium Point. 10-PackAmerican Stationery Monogram Golf Umbrella – Embroidered – 3977MDay Designer for Blue Sky 2018-2019 Academic Year Weekly & Monthly Planner, Flexible Cover, Twin-Wire Binding, 8.5
Phone charger- I hate when I get to work and have no phone charger. It’s almost always at 60% by the time I get to work because I listen to podcasts in the morning while I get ready. I tried leaving one at my workplace, but it mysteriously walked away. I now carry one with me daily so I can charge my phone up in the afternoon before my drive home.
Contact lens solution and case– It took me having trouble with my contacts TWICE to finally remember to pack some solution and a case with me daily. Since both products can be a little bulky in a work bag, this travel set works perfectly for when I need it.
Legal Pads– I love legal pads for writing, especially when they are colored. I just remember things better when they are written on a colored piece of paper. These stay in my bag and are perfect when I have to whip them out for meetings.
Pill Box– I absolutely cannot go without my heart medication on a daily basis, and this little pill box has saved me many a time from having to turn the car around and go back to the house to take my medicine. I always keep a full day’s worth of medication in it and even some ibuprofen and allergy medicine just in case.
BIC Pens– I’ve tried all the cutesy, fancy pens in the world, but my absolute favorite is a BIC pen, hands down. I buy these by the box and use them every single day.
Umbrella I learned in college, while having to walk to class in a downpour one day, to always, always carry an umbrella or at least have a poncho handy. There is always an umbrella in my work bag and it has saved me many a time from looking like a drowned rat while coming in to or leaving work. Bonus points because it’s monogrammed! Haha!
Planner– I always bring my planner because my boss makes important announcements in the morning. I always whip it out first thing to make notes of deadlines and important dates. It basically helps me keep my life together!
And that’s what I carry in my work bag on a daily basis.
