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 like working at home, I get the most done in the morning but it’s quieter in the evening 🙂

  2. Barb says

    There are several favorite “spots” I like to work at, but the one I am at the most is the kitchen. I enjoy baking and cooking and since eating is so enjoyable, it’s a fun place to be trying new recipes, cooking for my family or whatever.

  5. Diana says

    My favorite place to work is at home. If I could just figure out how to do that instead of having to leave during the week.

  7. Kelly says

    I like working in the family room with the boys in the room – best of both worlds!

  8. Jennifer Madigan says

    I like to work at my desk. If I can’t be there then out in the playground with the kids.

  9. Alison says

    I love “working” on the computer in local coffee shops. It’s always so cozy and people watching is always fun 🙂

  10. Jen says

    I work on my volunteering projects at restaurants or in parking lots during my lunch hours from my paying job. This would be awesome!

  11. JennyA says

    Due to my disabilities I am in constant pain…so my favorite place to work is in BED, in pajamas with a nice cup of tea and my meds!

  12. Tanabeth Miller says

    I am very interested in blogging better and this may be the help I need 🙂

  14. Anita says

    I love working at my desk because it is right in front of a window and I love looking up and seeing the birds at my birdbath 🙂

  18. Library Momma says

    I like to work first thing in the morning or late at night after the kids are asleep and this is really bad sitting in a recliner!

  19. Pam M. says

    I love to work from my easy chair in my living room. It is in front of my large bay window and surrounded by my 2 end chairs which allow plenty of room for things like capuchino and laptop, books, etc…

  20. Angie G. says

    The dining room table is my favorite place to work. I can spread out my things and still be close enough to hang out with my husband.

  24. Lisa L says

    I like to work out on my screened in porch, peaceful!
    Great giveaway!!

  30. Chalyse Meiklejohn says

    I like to work from home because I’m a stay at home wife/soon-to-be mom… but I’m always on the go!

  31. Kerrie says

    Would love this, thanks for the giveaway. I like working at a coffee shop or library, away from kids and phones.

  35. Melody Morris says

    I have been following you on FB and your blog for a quite a while now.

  36. Melanie Crosmun says

    My favorite place to work in the summer is out by the pool deck at my apartment complex. When no one’s around it’s a great place to just relax and get started on my writing!

  39. Amy says

    My favorite place to work is my couch. When no one else is home of course.
