Every morning before I go to work, I pack my bag, the same bag I take with me every single day, year in and year out. To be honest with you, I love dragging a bag with me, all the things I love and adore, use and sometimes abuse gets chucked into one particular bag. This bag has been through so many adventures, traveling memories, as well as random moments. It's actually starting to show its age very well, torn pockets and zips that's not working perfectly. After all, I have been using this bag everyday for the last 5 years. Think it's time for a new bag. Anyhow.... Below you'll see a photo of all the things a carry with my on a daily bases. These are only accessories i use at work and on projects. If it's not sharing or doing my jobs as a social media manager and a radio presenter at West Coast Fm.

1.) My laptop: I really don't like laptops that much, but it serves it purpose well, I use it for work to prepare my show for the radio station. And for movies at home, Sunday's and mostly at nights before bed, helps me to drift away to the other world.
2.) iPad: This is a new device for me, I always wanted one, and now I have one, never knew they could be this handy, I use it for so may things, from writing my blog to sharing all my photos online, tweet here and there, always nice to have an iPad when your visiting friends or going to town, fits in almost anything.
3.) Note book: Since a child, or since I went to high school, I carry a notepad with my everywhere I go, helps to scribble ideas down, now and then I draw something. I take a lot of notes during meetings, helps me to stay on the ball. And I can scratch of all the things I have done. Check!
4.) Headphones: I'm so addicted to my headphones, in the industry I work, I constantly sit with headphones on my head, jamming a way three hours on air, just love it. Not only do I use them for talking on radio, I also use them to prep my show, listen to trailers or sometimes liners that the production team produced.
5.) Chargers: I'm constantly on my phone and iPad, so that means I need to keep their battery live alive at all times, taking the chargers with me to work makes it obviously so much easier, sometimes I'll use them at one of the local bars in town, if my phone needs a little charge ;)
6.) Wireless mouse: it's not an easy task to design a small banner for one of the social media platforms with a laptop mouse, it sucks and it feels like your eating dinner with chop sticks. A mouse makes it a bit more comfortable, easier and faster on the job at hand.
7.) Cigarettes: yes, I know..... Smoking is bad and it will kill me, bla bla blaaaaaa. I smoke about a pack of 20 cigarettes in a days time, so that means I need a pack everyday. One of the things I'd like to remove from my list...
8.) Rolling paper/Rizzlas/ZigZag: just makes it obvious. ;)
9.) Stationary: I need pens, pencils and rubbers; the things on the list I love the most. The reason why I use three different colors of pens is because I make so many notes that I confuse my self sometime, every day I'll wright in a different color on one note just to clear things up a bit. It works for me, saves paper, lol.
10.) Money: ok, that's not a lot, but it's still money. I need a daily cash flow. From cigarettes to cab fare. Sometimes for being social, getting a beer with friends after work. Or just for that desperate moment you need to grab something to eat. A list of all my things, can't believe I carry or drag these things with my everyday, seems a lot but I'm pretty sure there are people out there that beats me. If you look at it from a different perspective, I personally think men and woman are in some ways exactly alike when it comes to daily needs and accessories. Well that's it for now, check out my next blog post on ajkruger.com
