My Work Essentials

Now that I've been at Westchester Magazine for six months (though it somehow feels like I've been working there for both two years and only two weeks), I know what my everyday work essentials are AKA what I need to do my job. As a social media coordinator I obviously need to be connected to the internet pretty much 24/7, but I also need to be organized because I post for both the marketing department (the events) and editorial department (the online and in-print magazine), so here's what I use every day.

Computer -- I can't do my job without this fine piece of equipment. I have a PC at home, but I've been enjoying using a Mac at work, and I have to say I definitely like it.

iPad -- This is my personal iPad, but I use it everyday at work. I also use it at work events for live-tweeting and using Instagram.

Sticky Notes -- I've discovered that sticky notes help me keep things straight. I use sticky notes to right down my to-do lists that ways it's right there near my keyboard.

Notepad -- For long-term to-do lists I keep these on a notepad. It's also where I keep random information that I need to keep on hand.

Pocket Calendar -- There are lots of events and I have to go to all of them, so it helps to write them all down on this small calendar that way I know when I'm busy or not.

Mug -- I drink a lot of water at work. What is it about staring at a screen that makes me so dehydrated? I try to drink as much water as possible during the day because I forget when I get home.

Zipper Pouch -- Obviously for corralling my lip balms, lipsticks, and pens.

Extra: My Camera -- I may have bought my camera for personal use (and for this here blog of course), but I use it for work events as well.

P.S. -- What's in my work bag!

What are your work essentials?

  5. I love that you said "corralling" your lip balms and pens, great word choice. I use post-its all day, everyday at work too! Couldn't work without them. Cool to see a peak into your work life!

  13. Yes! All of these are essential! I usually have a water bottle and a mug for coffee, because I cannot have one or the other while working. I know, I'm weird lol

  14. I use SO many sticky notes at work. I'm sure if I work on it well enough I can cover my whole desk in them and still be organised.

  15. Haha, me too! Love me some sticky notes!

  16. That's not weird at all! Sometimes I'll go back and forth between hot tea and water!

  17. Thanks, Jessica! It's definitely a fun job, though it can get repetitive because I do the same things every day.

  18. I love getting cute notepads for work! It's a bit of an obsession!

  19. This isn't my actual desk though. I took these pictures on my bed at home. I really work at a wooden desk. Thanks!

  20. Yes yes yes! I go back and forth between drinking tea and water!

  21. I'm glad you use sticky notes too! :)

  22. Chapstick is definitely a must! It's harder to concentrate at work when my lips feel gross and dry.

  23. LOVE THIS! I've been a social media manager for 3 months now but it seems like it's been years (time flies!) I also need to be connected to the web 24/7 so I always have my Macbook and my iphone handy! I love using sticky notes to keep everything in order (especially when the sticky notes have cute sayings on them!) I should really start using my iPad more but it's so big. I really want to trade it in for an iPad mini (they're having great trade in specials at Target right now) <3

  26. I forgot to mention that I use my iPad Mini all.the.time. It's the perfect size, so you should definitely trade it in for the mini!

  27. That's so cute that you drink your water in a mug. I think I'll start doing that, too. =]
