5 Simple Steps to Create a Mobile Office Kit

We’re all spending more hours working in our houses these days.

But it isn’t always possible to dedicate a space in your home for your business. Sometimes a work area looks like a the kitchen counter, coffee table, or couch, and with a little creativity, your home probably has a few great places to hunker down and get work done.

The goal of any workspace is to be a productive setting to get work done. And when we’re hustling hard or working on a project, it’s usually best practice to create some sort of setup to help your work sessions be efficient.

But when you don’t have an office or a desk, you might not want to leave your stuff set up round the clock.

The key is finding the right balance. You want your workspace to be quick to set up and easy to tear down. Otherwise, the process takes time away from your day and creates a hundred extra steps between you and getting to work.

What’s the solution? You need a mobile office system.

This summer, I came up with a simple way to pack up my office to work productively from anywhere.

My friend and fellow creative, Caitlynn, requested this blog post, so I made it a little extra special by including lots of images. In fact, I did a photoshoot so I could show you exactly what I use. I hope you enjoy the tutorial!
