5 Items I Can’t Live Without (And Why)
Here’s my list of essentials that go with me everywhere:
1. My phone - I’ve had a treo700p for two years and I’m about to get an iphone. Although I don’t keep my schedule on my phone, it does have my e-mail and stores reference links, as well as connects me to people I need to talk to. I can’t imagine not having the internet in my pocket.
2. My planner/journal - I use a paper planner and it works pretty well for me. (I’ll give details in another post). But the real key is that I plan and track my daily activities all in one place.
3. A travel hard drive in a secure case - I highly recommend a Western Digital Passport and a case to go with it that has room for the cord. This lets my documents be portable.
4. Ipod - My Ipod Nano is filled with all kinds of music separated in playlists. I have a “relax”, “study”, “dance”, “airplane”, “favorites”, and “new music” playlists. So if I need music to block out background noise or unwind, I have my Ipod.
5. A small cheap spiral notebook - This is used for fast thought/idea capture as well as composing. I’m currently using a Mead Lil’ Fat notebook. Such a small notebook makes it easy to capture my ideas quickly.
