You are just a pleasure to watch. English is my second language and I always admire native speakers like you who articulate and speak with beautiful flow. Love the video.
Also, no, I do not have a weird skin rash...just an amateur trying to apply sunless tanner. I didn't notice until I went to edit this video, and I cursed myself for trying to add a little color to my limbs before I leave on vacation. I went to town with my exfoliating cloth and invested in a mitt, so hopefully the next application will be better. 😂
Hi Ashley, I am considering this bag for a work/purse bag. Are you still happy with the bag? Any advice on only carrying one bag for work and handbag? Thanks!
I remember the video you did about the "work uniform", and my husband and I both utilize this method since then, and honestly it's such a time saver! We pick from our 5 outfits, and go. I will usually have a casual Friday, but I kind of have a few rotating outfits for that as well. I wear a piece until it is kind of worn out, then replace it. Saves money, saves time, great idea!
I loved your other work bag video so I’m really excited to see an update! I have 2 essentials. 1) My Apple air pods. I work in one of those open concept offices with no cubes which can be really distracting and noisy so I listen to music or a podcast all day long. But the thing I love about them so much is they pause your music or podcast when you take one out of your ear so when someone talks to me I can easily take one out and not miss any of my podcast. 2) Snacks. I love going to Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s or wherever and picking an interesting snack to try as something to look forward to during my day.
I love that this video was more than just a “things” but your ideas behind the things. Really it’s a snapshot of where you are in life. I’m excited for the IWP discbound system!
Yes! even the .7mm are super nice and you can buy refills for them as well. It's a pricier pen but I find that it lasts a while and it never dries out.
Those grids are great! I got one to put in my hospital bag before I gave birth to my daughter to hold my makeup so I didn’t have to rifle through even a small makeup bag. It was great!
Ashley, I was wondering if you had any planner or productivity updates coming. I’m starting to try the Pomodoro method and know that you had been using it. I would love to see what you are doing. Love your videos!
Headphones, Spotify, Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Orange gummies, and a face mist. I have super watery allergy eyes and a water mist is essential for me to refresh my eyes and also clean around them during the day. I love the Pentel Entergel pens. I'm a leftie and they dry super fast, but still crisp fine points.
I love all things organization related, so your work and planning videos are some of my favorites. I would love to see a home office tour and/or more tips on how you organize. Also, what are you using to display your essential oils?? It looks like it slightly tips the bottles so they don’t fall out. I found Eden’s Garden through you and have a whole slew of them now (love, love, love the Good Night blend). I would love to actually have them out on my desk... Thank you for your fantastic videos!
You got me hooked on those Pilot Juice pens! Also discovered Saje essential oils this summer and I LOVE peppermint halo. I'd be so interested to see what's in your current planner, I've always enjoyed your plan with me videos. All your videos, really! 😄 I'm not sure what gets me through the day, but I do have my eye on some Valhrona chocolate bars they've been displaying at my Trader Joe's checkout...
I would love to hear more about how you organize digital clutter! I just got the new Macbook too (hello dongles!) and I'm trying to keep it as clean as possible too so I'm wondering what type of files/clips you keep on Google drive versus your hard drive. Great video as always!
"Aspirational tea bags" hahaha! I know that life! I always have a nice selection of tea in my purse or suitcase but inevitably reach for coffee every time. Great point about the unconscious mental stress of reading online articles and deciding whether or not to read follow-up or related links. Sometimes I do feel that pressure to keep reading and reading, and next thing I know, I don't even recall the original article I read. I work at home, so the one thing that really helps on my desk is to keep separate pads for life tasks vs work tasks. That way the line doesn't get blurred and I can concentrate on one without feeling the pressure of the other.
Love the tip about the two separate pads for life and work! I have one giant "inbox," but then like to separate things out between the two. Also, on my list of things to buy at the grocery store today is parsley tea because I read it was good for women. Who knows if I'll actually drink it, though. 😂(joking, hopefully!)
Love all your videos! Thanks for updating this one. If you like lavender I love the Lavender EO hand sanitizer, both the spray and wipes are always in my bag.
I feel partly responsible for the hyperlinks that are in online stories that you mentioned. I’m a digital editor at a magazine and those in-story links improve a post’s SEO score, so we’re encouraged to add as many as it makes editorial sense. I never thought they cause readers to make micro-decisions, but I totally see why they do. Something to think about! 🤔 As for the work bag item I can’t live without, it’s my cord tacos. I never thought they’d be as useful as they’ve turned out to be. I have the grid organizer as well, but the cord tacos keep my earbuds organized in all my various places where I keep them (purse, car, etc.), plus they don’t take up a lot of space. Great video!
I love your planner/planning videos - no matter how long and details they are. In fact - the longer, the better! :D Did you think about adding videos more often? I feel like always waiting! Love your channel, sending much love from Poland!
I purchased 2 Dagne Dover totes (black and taupe) after seeing your first video and mine have lasted also, except the taupe (or stone color) one started leaning over and got mis-shaped. I contacted Dagne Dover and they said there wasn't a warranty on them (I only had it for a few months at the time). The only advice they had for me was to store it from a hangar instead of leaving on a flat surface. The black one is fine. After spending so much on the 2 bags, I wouldn't recommend them.
Loved this video!! I’ll be starting clinicals for nurse practitioner school in a few weeks and I may need to get that bag. Your videos always make me smile
Loved watching this video! I really appreciate when you do professional-based videos. Wonderful. I adore how your bag has a water bottle pouch! We carry similar things, it seems. Hoping your headaches stay away! xx
Love seeing your smiling face, Ashley. Thanks for sharing an updated work bag video! What are your thoughts on David Allen vs Inkwell Press planning systems?
Hi, Lauren! David's method to me is really an ideology that you can use with whatever planning system you like. He even has a PDF for sale on how to incorporate the GTD Method with a paper planner. Right now I'm trying to simplify the number of inboxes I have. The app Todoist is helping with that, but I think I'll always need some kind of paper planner in my life. I feel weird without it. : ))
I would LOVE to see you film a video on wardrobe. I know you've said that you sort of have a "uniform" for work, but your style is so girly... I would honestly just love to see your pieces to get some inspiration!
Oh my word, I died when you said the "cabbage patch smell"!!! I had two and loved that smell but don't think I'd wanna smell it all day. My one thing is lip balm or gloss :)
This video came at the perfect time! I'm starting to plan my 'birthday purse' purcashe & this one is on my radar. I'm so happy to know it's held up! Also, do you have a new blog? I can't find your old one! I thought I had it saved, but I guess I don't.
These people deserve to see that video! LOL I bet it's great. Are your planner inserts from staples did you say? I'll be interested to hear what you think of Inkwell's new launch.
Thank you for posting this with the all the links! I loved the Grid and the lint roller. I am ordering them! I want to get the purse as well. Does the purse stay on your shoulder or does it slide off? It looks great to organize my work life but I can't stand it when bags fall down. lol
I work in a lab where I’m on my feet all day and my coworkers are very chatty. What gets me thru the day is my headphones, i have to have them during breaks so I can “tune out” everything and re-center my energy and focus.
Did you get the DD bag in 2015 or 2016? I would watch a "boring" list-making video. Do you still use a monthly calendar in it? How do you keep the dates/days straight?
First, your hair is so perfect! I love it! As for what I like to bring to work, well I work in a hospital lab so I don't get to bring anything sadly. Imagine if I could have chocolate with me at work! That sure would be heavenly!
Decision Fatigue! Learned a new phrase that describes something I completely relate to! Love your videos! Please feel free to bore us with any planing video you create. Your fellow planner nerds would LOVE to see it!
I always trust your opinion and know you do your research. I know you said these are your fave essential oil companies, but have you tried young living or DoTerra? How do you think they compare?
makeupTIA yes! and it’s super heavy once i put my lunch in and computer charger etc. i don’t think i can handle a commute through the city with it any longer :(
I feel the same way about my Dagne bag. It’s too heavy, for me even empty, so by the time I’ve put all my stuff in it it’s unbearable, and I have about the same amount of things I put in it as Ashley. Plus, I think the zipper is hard to work around. I like my bag in principle, but I don’t often reach for it.
I couldn’t agree more. I thought I was the only one. I also have the classic. Once I add my MacBook (only 2 lbs), the bag is very heavy. I also find that there’s so little room in between the compartments. I have a small pouch with my Advil, travel size cream, hand sanitizer and it makes the bag more bulky, thus losing its shape. The idea of it with the organizational compartments is great but the execution is poor. The bag is very heavy :/
Can I ask where you get your lovely intro music from? Thanks! ♥️ Oh and one thing that always makes my day better (other than my family of course!) is Gilmore Girls. 😀
You Need a Budget, The Simple Path to Wealth, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing, and Your Money or Your Life. Also, not a book, but the ChooseFI podcast is awesome!!
Would he prefer you to have a backpack? I guess I don't think about the weight that often because I'm just carrying it to and from the car, but, yes, I probably load it down too much too!
makeupTIA he think most women and even kids load their bags even backpacks with too much stuff. I have since switched to a Tul backpack and I love it, distributes the weight nicely.
Oh! I'll have to look into that. Earlier this summer, I made my first Everlane purchase (it's actually the dress I'm wearing in the thumbnail for this video), and I love it! Would definitely like to explore more from the brand. : ))
I designed the packaging for that 2-in1 mousepad! So exciting to see you purchased it!

A pleasure to watch you speak so eloquently, love your outfit 🤍

I HIGHLY reccomend trying TUL Pens - Needle Point...my absolute favorite pen for smooth fine writing. Keep your videos coming! Love 'em!
Thanks for the recommendation! Looking at them on Amazon right now. 0.5mm, right?
Yes! even the .7mm are super nice and you can buy refills for them as well. It's a pricier pen but I find that it lasts a while and it never dries out.
Those grids are great! I got one to put in my hospital bag before I gave birth to my daughter to hold my makeup so I didn’t have to rifle through even a small makeup bag. It was great!

Your videos are never boring 👍🏽 Would love to see your GTD setup & more planner videos if you are able to do them 😊
Lovely video, always a joy to watch. Thank you 😊💕
Hi Ashley, I miss your videos, please put up more videos if you have time.
Thanks so much for watching, Shin! 💕
Me too

What perfect timing! I just started a new job and was hoping you would make an updated version soon...TADA! Loved the video :) It was so helpful
Loved this video!! I’ll be starting clinicals for nurse practitioner school in a few weeks and I may need to get that bag. Your videos always make me smile

This video was sooo enjoyable!!!! Awesome job friend!
Thanks, Christopher!
Love, love your videos! So well-thought-out, aesthetically pleasing and your personality is the best! Keep them coming :)
Always enjoy watching your videos so much! I need to get that organiser for the cords and hardware. Looks so practical!
I would love to see your planner video too!!! I miss those! Also, would love to see a new Madewell tote update 💕
I would LOVE to see you film a video on wardrobe. I know you've said that you sort of have a "uniform" for work, but your style is so girly... I would honestly just love to see your pieces to get some inspiration!
Oh my word, I died when you said the "cabbage patch smell"!!! I had two and loved that smell but don't think I'd wanna smell it all day. My one thing is lip balm or gloss :)
I have my outfits picked out and ironed the night before. That way if I wake up late, it's one less thing to worry about.
This video came at the perfect time! I'm starting to plan my 'birthday purse' purcashe & this one is on my radar. I'm so happy to know it's held up! Also, do you have a new blog? I can't find your old one! I thought I had it saved, but I guess I don't.
Always so happy to see a video from you! Hope you're doing well ❤
I love any video you do! Honestly, you could do a video about dryer lint, and I would still be excited to watch. ☺️♥️
These people deserve to see that video! LOL I bet it's great. Are your planner inserts from staples did you say? I'll be interested to hear what you think of Inkwell's new launch.
I so love this video...can you please tell me what beautiful items you have on your GRID-IT! Organizer.
Thank you for posting this with the all the links! I loved the Grid and the lint roller. I am ordering them! I want to get the purse as well. Does the purse stay on your shoulder or does it slide off? It looks great to organize my work life but I can't stand it when bags fall down. lol

Love this video! ☺️
When working on something very repetitive or mindless, having an episode of The Office on in the background makes everything better!
Is your bag black or graphite?
Where did you get your planner book at?
Hello Ashley! What nail polish are you wearing ? 😊😄
Hi I loved this video the bag is beaut. I was just wondering where you got your Rose Gold USB C adaptor and your external hard drive for your laptop?
Thank you, Ini! From Amazon & Target - links in description box. 😄
Thank you for a great video Ashley! :)
First, your hair is so perfect! I love it! As for what I like to bring to work, well I work in a hospital lab so I don't get to bring anything sadly. Imagine if I could have chocolate with me at work! That sure would be heavenly!
I so love your videos
Decision Fatigue! Learned a new phrase that describes something I completely relate to! Love your videos! Please feel free to bore us with any planing video you create. Your fellow planner nerds would LOVE to see it!
Love your videos! Just wanted to let you know the name of the bag is spelled incorrectly in the title
I actually really like when your videos are longer
Lovely video. 😊
Always interesting and funny. Thank you
I always trust your opinion and know you do your research. I know you said these are your fave essential oil companies, but have you tried young living or DoTerra? How do you think they compare?
Where did you get your phone grip from? So pretty!
Thanks! It's a PopSocket. I think I got this one from Target. 😀
ahhhh omg omg did you see IWP is now going disc bound? :P
do you find the bag is really heavy? i love my dagne but i’m thinking of selling it because my shoulder is so sore st the end of the day
The bag itself isn't that bad, but once I put in a water bottle and a computer - yes! Do you have the classic, too?
makeupTIA yes! and it’s super heavy once i put my lunch in and computer charger etc. i don’t think i can handle a commute through the city with it any longer :(

2015? So three years, right? Props for using a bag that long!
Can I ask where you get your lovely intro music from? Thanks! ♥️
Oh and one thing that always makes my day better (other than my family of course!) is Gilmore Girls. 😀
Hi! I buy all my music from Premium Beat. www.premiumbeat.com/
I would love to know what finance books you are reading if you care to share. And great video!
Interested in the books as well. Also love your blouse - where is it from?
It's a dress from Anthropologie. 💃😀
You Need a Budget, The Simple Path to Wealth, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing, and Your Money or Your Life. Also, not a book, but the ChooseFI podcast is awesome!!
Digital Clutter is totally a thing!!
Great video. Love the bag. For Seo, fix the title spelling.
My Dagne Dover is so so heavy. I do love it though. My chiropractor always shakes his head when he sees it.
Would he prefer you to have a backpack? I guess I don't think about the weight that often because I'm just carrying it to and from the car, but, yes, I probably load it down too much too!
makeupTIA he think most women and even kids load their bags even backpacks with too much stuff. I have since switched to a Tul backpack and I love it, distributes the weight nicely.
Can’t see the bag. Change the filming angle
I think you will like the Form bag from Everlane 😆
Oh! I'll have to look into that. Earlier this summer, I made my first Everlane purchase (it's actually the dress I'm wearing in the thumbnail for this video), and I love it! Would definitely like to explore more from the brand. : ))
makeupTIA I have the Day Market tote from them and love it! Haven’t tried their clothing yet :)
I can’t stop looking at your teeth 🥰🥰🥰
💜💜💜
Perfect for emergency earthquake supple
Nice...
You didnt really show the bag
