Productive mobility allows us to add value to our businesses when we aren't in the office. This gives us the freedom to work from a wider variety of locations improving our quality of life. But how do we make the most of this time? I've been using this kind of mobility for quite a while now and I've developed a kit that really works for me that I thought I'd share with you.

Let's get mobile!

Business Principle

Efficiency + Effectiveness = Freedom

Key Components

Timbuk2 Backpack (https://b50p.info/timbuk2 - ;( sadly the one I have has been discontinued and while I wasn't super complimentary during the show I have to say that my Timbuk2 is by far the best commuting backpack I've owned.)

Tom Bihn Cafe Bag (https://b50p.info/cafebag)

Tom Bihn Cafe Bag Organizer (https://b50p.info/cafebagorganizer)

I double protect my Macbook Pro with a sleeve just to be on the safe side.

There's not much more to it. I try to keep my backpack as minimalistic as possible just to keep it light. Of course when I'm traveling by plane it gets a bit heavier but normally it's what you see here.

Practical Action

The next time you have a few minutes to think about it just go through your mobile work station... whatever that looks like and make sure:

• You have what you need
• It's well organized
• You don't have extraneous stuff (this reduced efficiency when you have to dig around stuff you don't need to find the stuff you do need)
