Laptop 💻

Mobile phone 📱

Diary 📒

If you are working in public relations, it is extremely important to be disciplined, rational and organized. Being a press officer can be quite hard work, but you do not want to become a workaholic and lose sense of a private life. It is useful to have a diary and write down all important meetings and deadlines. Luckily, there are many online applications that can help you manage a diary on your smartphone and laptop.

Watch 🕰

Having a watch can be apparent, but it can prevent you from many awkward situations and help avoid forgetting tasks and meetings.

Energy Boosters ☕️
