What's in my bag - the Full Mobile Office

With a lot of workplaces (including mine) moving to “dynamic working” or hot-desking arrangements, its become necessary to bring everything I need with me each day I work. To avoid feeling like a pack mule, I try and minimise on what I need and use a more portable option of desk products. I’ve talked before about different iterations of my everyday carry, depending on where I am going and where I am stationed for the day, so this is my full mobile office edition.

Hot-desking often involves sharing desk space with many others and becomes a hot bed of petty stationery thievery. In the normal world, this may not seem like a big deal, but often the small, cool little steel pen is a rare Pilot MYU from the 1970’s that’s virtually irreplaceable.

To avoid this, I take absolutely everything with me at the end of the day and bring everything with me when I start each day. Call me paranoid, but I like to be prepared and I don’t want my stuff “permanently borrowed”. 

Personal stuff:

• Wallet
• Medicine kit (includes Nurofen, bandaids, sanitising gel/wipes, Mylanta etc)
• Cosmetic kit (include hair ties/clips, lip balm, tissues)
• Phone
• Keys
• ID card
• Water bottle
• Mints
• Snack (not shown)

Stationery items:

• Fountain pens (usually not rare or irreplaceable, preferably not too expensive)
• Notebook and planner
• Post-its, sticky flags, Ruler, Pen, Pencil, Highlighter, Erasable pen (usually a Frixion). I also normally keep some washi tape in here but I’ve lost my portable washi stickers somewhere.
• iPad Mini (not shown)

What else should I be bringing each day? Any suggestions?
