7 Things I Don’t Leave the House Without

Posted Updated

I never leave the house without these 7 things:

  1. AirPods Pro (3rd gen) – I use them regularly and the noise canceling is great.
  2. Hollyland Lapel mics – Small enough to fit in my sling bag for quick voice memos or podcast recordings.
  3. Anker Qi charger – Always afraid of running out of power, this gives my iPhone 17 Pro an 80% charge.
  4. James Folsom pocket knife – Super light, always on me.
  5. Remarkable Paper Pro Move – Perfect for meeting notes, ideas, anything that comes to mind.
  6. A book – Currently reading The Iliad (Emily Wilson translation).
  7. Bellroy Transit Sling Bag – To hold everything!

What are your must-have items when you leave the house?
