My Every Day Survival Kit

I thought it would be interesting to show you what I use on a regular basis and never really leaves my side throughout the day. My survival kit is mainly the stuff I use for my blogging and writing.

iPad 
I don't really watch TV on an actual television, it tends to be on my ipad, because it is portable and I can watch it from anywhere I am working or relaxing. I also use a variety of apps to post and schedule my social media posts. It is also the main place I access my emails. I also edit my videos on this with iMovie

iPhone 
This is a lifeline. I tend to use it to take photos for my blog and create my youtube videos until I save up for a new camera. It also my social media scheduler and checker on the go.

Pens 
A staple for every writer. I always carry at least one.

Notebooks
It is the best way to get everything in my brain down and draft some earlydrafts dependent on my mood.

Laptop 
I use this to do the bulk of my final drafts of writing projects and blog posts

Blogging Diary Folder
A recent saviour I am using this to schedule and improve my posts.

Diary
All appointments, meetings and interviews safe in one place but also to my iPhone and iPad.  

Juice 
My big bottle of juice to keep me hydrated.
