On-the-Go Office Bag Essentials - Shutterbean

Here are my On-the-Go Office Bag Essentials!

I was up late looking through the ChatGPT subreddit and I found this ChatGPT prompt:

“Based on what you already know about me and only what you already know, try to extrapolate or imagine which fantastic, mythological, movie, music, or any other famous character or person- real or fictional-best represents who I’d like to become. This could include a character from a book, a movie, a video game, or anyone from the entire range of professions and notable figures, both real and from fantasy.”

Wanna know what it said?

hahahahahaaaaaaa!

(I’ve always wanted her bag)

Let’s have a look inside…

Turns out, I have already been working hard to become Mary Poppins. 😉

Over the years of working from home, I’ve realized just how easily I can get derailed by my surroundings. One minute, I’m getting up to make a cup of tea and the next… I’m folding laundry, watering plants, filming Instagram videos, getting distracted by the cats, and—somewhere between a spontaneous fridge purge—I finally rediscover my tea, now ice-cold, hours later on the dining room table.

Ooof.

Because of this, I often find myself working late into the night to make up for lost time. That’s why I started working away from home—fewer distractions help me focus. In the process, I’ve honed my On-the-Go Work Bag Essentials and even created a checklist to make sure I don’t forget anything. Because, yes, I have left my laptop at home. Twice.

This is my Mary Poppins Bag!!

Here’s what I carry with me:

Things I MUST have to get work done:

It doesn’t stop there. I also have two other bags with me.

Accessory Bag
My Everyday Essentials On-the-go bag

Say hello to my new accessory bag that holds EVERYTHING I COULD EVER WANT ON THE GO.

The best part –there’s a built-in organizing system with three different colors!

TECH/ PENS/ TOOLS

Let’s break it down:

This whole selection here is what I bring when I’m journaling and planning on the go.

(it can also fit pens in it!). I’ll probably throw it in my baseball bag if I want to journal on the go.

This is my mobile essentials kit I also carry with me. I wrote about it in my Baseball Bag Essentials post. This little kit hops from one bag to another in a snap. I try to go through it every few weeks to make sure I still have all the things I need.
