5 Essentials I Use Every Day
- Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones – Great for blocking out distractions working from home while I’m trying (struggling) to finish my notes as well as when I’m seeing clients.
- Kindle – I never thought I’d be a Kindle user, but it’s honestly been a game changer. I find myself reading and retaining more. Easy reading, highlighting, and note taking. Love it.
- Wide Notebook – Lots of room for jotting notes during session.
- Laptop Stand – Better viewing angle for teletherapy and more ergonomic
- Zen Green Tea – I always have a cup of this tea before my first client of the day. It wakes me up, calms me, and is a nice little ritual to start each day.
