Look for an email from me shortly!

After FIVE years of running my own business, I’ve come to realize that I need to be able to work anywhere — not just at home in my office.

There are times when I work from a client’s home, from a coffee shop or other restaurant, in the car, outside on a blanket with Nora, and various other places around town.

Sometimes it can be stressful or seem a bit disorganized because I’m not always working from one place, but usually the pros outweigh the cons… so I try not to complain! However, because I often work from various locations, I try to keep a “mobile office bag” filled with my on-the-go essentials so I can quickly get out the door without worrying about leaving something behind.

Some of the items that stay in my “mobile office bag” are business cards, file folders, headphones, paper, pens, water bottle, batteries, and various chargers.  Then when I’m packing up to go somewhere, I add in my phone, computer, and a few snacks. It seems to work well for me to store everything together and have it ready and waiting when it’s time for me to head to a client’s home, to a speaking engagement, or to a blogger’s meet-up.

And since I know many of you also work from various remote locations, I’m super excited to parter with Turnstone to offer a fun Mobile Office Prize Pack for today’s weekend giveaway!

Oh, and even if you don’t necessarily work outside the home, I’m pretty sure you’ll still have a use for every item in this prize pack 🙂

The first item in the prize pack is probably my favorite because I take food with me everywhere I go — partially because I’m too cheap to spend money on fast food or eating out, and partially because I have a super high metabolism and am always hungry. I keep snacks in my car, in my purse, in the diaper bag, and in my mobile office bag. I never, ever go anywhere without food {just ask Dave if you don’t believe me.}

This BUILT Gourmet Lunch Tote is the perfect size for one or two people to pack a lunch or several snacks. It folds down when not in use, and the flexible material allows for odd-shaped containers. It keeps my food cold for several house and zips shut so I don’t have to worry about spills.

These Panasonic Headphones are perfect for anyone who enjoys listening to music… but especially if your working in a public place and want to be considerate of others around you who might have different taste in music.

I’ve used these headphones for listening to music while I work, and also to block out noise from others around me… yes, silence is a luxury for me these days!

The third item in my mobile office prize pack is a set of 3 Griffin MiniUSB Cables that will charge an iPhone, iPod, Blackberry, Android, camera, MP3 player, GPS, and more. Plus, these 4″ cables eliminate any possibility of tangled cords!

As I mentioned before, all three of these items would be super useful and practical for almost anyone… but if you’re constantly on-the-go or frequently work from remote locations, these items will definitely help to simplify and organize your mobile office space!

    I already “like” Simple Organized Living (actually, I LOVE it!!!!) :))

  6. Catherine says

    I like to work out on our deck if the weather is beautiful. If it’s not pleasant out, I’m content at my desk in the basement.

  8. Kristin says

    I love to sit at my desk… It’s right next to a window to the backyard, so I can watch the kiddos, get vitamin D, & work, all at the same time.

  12. Patty says

    I’m not sure where my favorite place is ~ but when the weather is right outside is wonderful!

  19. susan says

    I like to be at any water’s edge to clear my mind and allow creativity to take over [at least that’s the plan] … one of the reasons I love living in the Great Lakes state!

    My favorite place to work has to be my actual office. I’m working from home currently and can’t wait to get back to the office this fall. I miss the visiting and the productivity of not having a toddler underfoot. And working at an office makes it easier to set everything down at 5, rather then keeping working until you’re done.

  22. Kathleen says

    Already like you on Facebook–genuinely look forward to your posts! Thanks!!

  23. Gloria says

    My favorite place to work is my desk at home with all my favorite things surrounding me.

  24. Gayle Greeley says

    My favorite place to work is from home 🙂 That way I get more time with my kids and hubby!!! Thanks for the chance to win. I am new to your site and looking forward to following your blog in the future!

  25. Kathleen says

    I love to work from home–sitting at my dining room table, kitties around me, hearing the kids laughter a few rooms away. Warm weather months, I move it all outside. It sooooo beats a day in the office! 🙂

  28. Michelle says

    My favorite place to work is on my front porch, sitting side by side with my husband and with a cup of coffee. I am new to your site and absolutely love it!

  30. Lori says

    I like to work from my antique rocker near the sunny window and at my kids’ houses.

  31. Alesia says

    Many times I find myself sitting on my couch to work, which isn’t always conducive, so if it’s nice out and I’m home I try to sit outside. Otherwise, I need to head out to the local coffee shop to get things accomplished!

  32. Christine says

    My favorite place to work is definitely in my home office surround by the little things that give me comfort and bring back memories.

  36. Laura says

    My favorite place to work is from home – since I have to travel to the office every day, it’s a nice break when I get the chance to work from home!

  38. melanie says

    Right now I’m enjoying working from home 3 days a week! So far outside on the patio is my favorite!

  39. Stephanie says

    I LOVE to work at home! sounds crazy with working at an office outside of the home, but I love the feeling of the family’s hustle and bustle and all the distractions that come with it! Yes, things do get “checked of the list”

  40. Amanda says

    My favorite place to work is in the living room, with the sun coming in through the picture window.
