10 Essentials to Keep in Your Purse

February 26, 2015 By Lisa Leave a Comment

I’m constantly on the go and because of that, my purse takes a lot of abuse. It serves as a catch-all for everything I might possibly need on any given day.  One of my productivity secrets is to make sure you have everything necessary in your purse.  Here are a few of my favorite things to keep in my purse. (And I’ve also included a great purse in case you’re in need of one!)

Kate Spade - New York Cedar Street Saffiano Top-Zip Satchel

Plantronics - M165 Marque 2 Ultralight Bluetooth Headset

Plantronics – M165 Marque 2 Ultralight Bluetooth Headset

My productivity has doubled since I started using a bluetooth headset. For starters, it’s great to have my hands free all the time. Also, I listen to audiobooks and business podcasts while I’m at the gym and grocery store.  I can have conversations in the car without having to hold my phone up to my ear.  And because most bluetooth headsets only have a 7 hour lifespan, I try to always have a second one fully charged and in my purse! 🙂
