You need a laptop sleeve in your life.
Commuting to work may not be your favorite part of the day but there are certainly ways to make it more effortless and enjoyable. Maybe you like to take along a stainless steel tumbler full of coffee to sip on during your drive, or one of the best summer books to read on your train ride. And then there's the matter of getting all of your "work stuff" from A to B. That could include a smart phone, tablet, and laptop, as well as documents, pens, and other essentials like your wallet, water bottle, daily planner, and keys. We love the idea of using a cute tote bag for work but if you have a lot of stuff to tow (especially a laptop), there are times when a tote just won't cut it.
We found some great work backpacks that have dedicated laptop sleeves, smart phone pockets, and plenty of other compartments to help keep you organized. Some of these are even spacious enough to carry your favorite cold lunches. There are also some picks with trolley sleeves that are perfect for those who travel a lot for work—and would make great gifts for travelers, too! Any one of these bags will make your commute—and life in general—much simpler, so choose your favorite and get to work!
