Many of us work from the road or just find that our productivity soars when we add the white-noise of a public workspace. For whatever reason you find yourself working from your favorite café or just the most convenient coffee shop, chances are that you can’t be without the resources of a standard office. Consequently, being able to mobilize those resources can be very important.
Personally, I do a lot of traveling and working from a typical office isn’t very practical. To make the most of my work day I utilize my phone and my GPS to find the most geographically convenient coffee shops and cafes to serves as the day’s workspace.
Regardless of where I’m working I still need the office essentials and I’ve been slowly acquiring a set-up that makes things as convenient and functional as possible.

HP ElitePad with Expandable Battery Jacket
I love this thing! Not only is incredibly portable and great for giving impromptu presentations but it also operates on a full version of Windows 8. I never need to sync my tablet with my computer or the other way around because my tablet is my computer.
With the protective jacket I don’t have to worry too much about possible damage from dropping it throughout the shuffle of the busy work day. What’s even better is that the jacket houses the battery expansion making it so I have to charge my tablet less often than my phone. I just plug it when I go to sleep and it’s ready for a full day of use before I even wake up in the morning.

Toshiba 500 GB External Hard Drive
If you are not backing-up your work in multiple locations you are setting yourself up for a world of hurt.

| Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard with Stand and Logitech Bluetooth Mouse These add-ons give me all the user friendliness of a traditional PC. While the table’s touch screen operation makes presentations super sleek and that much more impressive, large scale document creation and editing are much easier with a traditional mouse and keyboard. |
Samsung Galaxy SIII
I’m lost without my email during to the work day and a smartphone fixes that problem. The G SIII has the added bonus of a huge display because I strain my eyes enough looking at screens all day.
The camera on here is great and makes communicating with the office and other members of the staff much easier.
I’ll probably add tethering to my AT&T plan soon. That way I can get the internet on my tablet outside of localized WiFi hot-spots.
So now it’s question time. [I look forward to your comments!]

What should I add to mine to increase productivity?
