commuting essentials – your top 3?
Katie Moffat (aka prnowandthen.com) dropped me and fellow colocator- Wadds – a line this week to ask about the three most essential tools for long commutes/home working.
It got me thinking as Wadds and I have been discussing the things you need two of and the stuff you have to cart around just to make travelling more bearable.
My top 3 essentials for a long commute (excluding laptop) would be:
– Dongle (service varies, check the coverage maps, especially if you are travelling out to the sticks like I am)
– Decent mobile device (phone/blackberry/games and ipod/touch or combined as you’ll need tunes, podcasts etc to while away those hours
– Memory stick plus avid use of gmail (I am a nightmare for being in the wrong place with the wrong file)
I think as time goes on, services like Huddle will become essentials for the remote worker/colocator as it combines document storage with social networking and will soon include IM and teleconferencing….I see these tools eventually becoming the long espoused “virtual office” that you can dip into at any time.
Anyone else like to share their top 3?
