What to pack for your workcation? 7 Workcation Essentials

Easing into the new normal is going to take time and while we do that, we need to be well prepared when it comes to packing for a workcation. While it all seems very exciting and fun, we have to make sure that we have the right essentials.

1. Covid essentials: It might seem like the pandemic is over but its not, it still looms over us and we need to be precautious. So, carry your sanitizers, plenty of masks, some medicines, a thermometer and other medical essentials. Be sure to include a first-aid kit.
2. Extension cord: We all know how unsettling it is to find that there is only one charging point at the most dissatisfying place in our room. What a bust, right? So, make it easier for yourself and carry an extension cord to charge everything at an arm’s length.
3. Water bottles and cups: Having your own water bottle saves you from constantly buying water from outside and at times the water quality is also questionable. A water bottle allows you to have water with all the time and the cups just make it easier to make yourself a cup of coffee or tea at any time you want.
4. Earphones/ headphones: Since it’s a workcation, work will prevail. Having noise cancelling earphones/headphones will help you attend your meetings and calls in utter peace.
5. Documents and cash: Working anywhere becomes easy when you have your travel documents and your work files with you. Make sure you miss nothing important like your IDs or your vaccination certificate and carry cash for places that still haven’t adapted to the digital India.
6. External Hard Drive: Your laptop might seem to have plenty of space currently but you never know when you might need to store some data externally.
7. Power banks and Chargers: We don’t want to run out of batteries now, do we? So, pack your phone and laptop chargers along with a power bank for times when you don’t have access to a charging point.
