Five Things You Can’t Work Without

August 27, 2014 by Erica Martin Leave a Comment

Whether you work from home or in a brick and mortar office, everyone has things they can’t work without. In this blog post, I’ll be sharing some of the things that people who work from home can’t work without. First, I’d like to start with my own list though.

My computer – This one is obvious, I’m sure. I need my computer to do the work I do for Apptical, and I need at least some kind of electronic device, whether it’s my Kindle or my phone, to jot down ideas I get when I’m away from my computer.
My Samsung Galaxy phone– As I just mentioned above, when I can’t be in front of my computer, I use my mobile phone to make notes about things I need to do, or to check emails.
My Kindle – I also use my Kindle to make notes and check email, and I also read a lot of books on it that give me ideas for different things related to my business.
My landline phone – I need my landline phone for my current work from home job with Apptical, which I need to hold on to until I’m making enough money from other sources.
Evernote – I use Evernote for all sorts of things, such saving important emails or articles that I want to read, making to-do lists and setting reminders for things I need to do.

Now, here are the things some other people can’t work without…

If you work at home, at one point or another someone has probably asked you when you’re going to get a “real” job. There are a lot of different ways to respond to this question. In this blog post, I’m going to share a few people’s responses to this question.

Evernote is an application that you can use to keep track of all kinds of different information. You can use it to create text notes, voice notes or save pictures that are important to you. You can also clip articles from the web that you may want to refer to later. I’ve been using Evernote for over a year now, and it’s helped me keep information organized in my personal life, as well as in my professional life. Some of the ways I use Evernote in my personal life include:
