I’ve worked remotely for 20 years. Here’s what’s always in my laptop bag

One morning I’m working out of my home office, the next I’m working in a bustling coffee shop, and the next I’m working out of a fast food joint near my kid’s school. Being a working parent is hectic, and I’m lucky to have the flexibility to work wherever I happen to be.

But that means I need a portable workstation, one I can carry around with me comfortably and productively. My laptop bag has evolved quite a bit over the years, and it’s as good as ever now that I’ve been doing this for nearly two decades as a tech writer.
