When your office isn’t an office

When you work out of a vehicle, it is important to have everything that you need and nothing that you don’t need. Things that you need could include work-related items, computer, phone, and personal items such as raincoat, umbrella, and lunch box. Unwanted items would consist of anything that gets in the way of business, driving comfort, or takes up needed space.

Keeping a handle on all the stuff that you carry with you might require that you have a checklist to make sure that nothing gets left behind at the job site. A friend of Wise recently related an incident involving her neighbor, who had hired a remodeling contractor. When arriving home one day, our friend discovered a folder and pages of her neighbor’s estimates and work plans blowing across her lawn. Needless to say, the neighbor was not pleased.
