Why Your Next Workday Needs a Little Organisation

Some days we just want a change of environment after working days at home. We might want to go to the office, or you are a digital nomad and prefer to work in cafes. Getting from one place to another doesn't mean we could switch our brains immediately to another mode, especially in an environment with different things going on. What could we do, especially when we make the attempt for productivity?

Getting your vibe set as soon as possible is the key. A little mind trick like a ritual, or making something special for the occasion, helps switching the vibe.

From my personal experience, organisation would be an easy way to start with. Organisation is about putting things in place and planning time for different things in a day, just like setting boundaries so that your energy could be focused. And yes, that's where your focus starts to bring in to work.

A simple transparent case is a regular part of my day out in a cafe. If I want to work in a cafe, I usually bring my backpack, and work-related items are kept in the transparent case. That separates my work items from the mess. It also symbolises space for work that is not blended with my personal items, so as work life doesn't blend with personal life.

The slim design of the case allows things to be organised easily. I like the fact that I could just take the case out and get ready for work straight away. There is no more digging inside my backpack, as the transparent colour also makes everything visible. It gives a clean, minimal look, but it also resonates to the Y2K style.

Despite the slim profile, it is sized perfectly to fit most standard A4 documents without bending the corners. It is even spacious enough to fit a 14" MacBook snugly, allowing you to keep your main digital and physical tools all in one place.

There is a small pocket in the front for small items, where you can put things like clips, receipts, etc. On top of that, the PVC nature also avoids things getting messed up in case of an accident like a dripping bottle, dirty clothes, or an uncapped pen.

It simply keeps your work clean, separated, and ready to go whenever you are.

If you’re curious about making the switch from a disposable ballpoint to something more reliable and enjoyable, the Preppy is a fantastic place to start. It delivers the same engineering philosophy as high-end Japanese pens, but at a price point that makes it the perfect companion for your daily carry.
