Tuesday Topics- What’s In Your Kit?

Hi there! Thanks for joining Jenn and me for the Tuesday Topics linkup! This week’s topic is “What’s in your running kit?” but well… I’m famous for going off-topic. When I started to write, I thought about the things that are in my LIFE kit, as in, the things I bring with me every day and consider essential to my well-being. First up, my planner: Honestly, it’s not truly essential to my day, but I like to have it with me. I don’t need my planner for work- my day is scheduled out for me already. I divide each day, and put any non-work appointments and my daughter’s things on one side, and details about my workouts on the other. This week my daughter has a lot, but I have no appointments of my own! I love that- sometimes I feel like I spend Wednesdays (my day off) running annoying errands or going to the eye doctor, dentist, etc. Moving on… I also always have a couple notebooks with me. The Fall Planner is…. let’s say, aspirational. I filled out some of it last month but have neglected it ever since. It does have my “Fall TBR” in it, so I refer to that occasionally. The other notebook is just for jotting down random things like blog post ideas or quotes I want to remember. Next up…my phone. I know what you’re thinking- “Duh! Everyone carries their phone with them during the day!” But specifically, I need my phone for this… My podcasts! I listen to them while driving, running, working out at the gym… in short, any downtime where it’s not possible to read. Currently Reading is the podcast I’m loving the most right now (and I’m binging the back episodes) but I also have many others… And lastly, I can’t leave home without a book! I mean… what if my car breaks down and I have to wait for roadside assistance? What if I client doesn’t show up? What if I’m picking up my daughter and have to wait for her (oh wait- there’s no “what if” there- that will definitely be happening). I always have my current book ready to pull out. If I’m getting towards the end of my book, I’ll have another one just in case: What’s in your “life kit?” Welcome to the new Tuesday Topics, hosted by Jenn at Runs With Pugs and Jenny at Runners Fly!
