What are the essentials girl boss should have to stay focus and productive?
A Desk Lamp
A desk lamp is one of the best desk essentials girl boss should have on her desk. If you work early in the morning or later at night, you should have it. Even if I have a light in the room, I still need a good desk lamp if I want to work on my laptop or write in my planner.
Laptop
A laptop is obviously on the list of desk essentials girl boss should have on her desk. I always work on my laptop every day. From 10 am till night. I’m not getting any work done without my laptop.
Pretty Planner
I like physical planner so much!
Although now there are tons of digital planners you can choose from, but I like the idea when you write down everything that I need to do on my favorite planner!
A planner is one of the most important desk essentials for me personally and the essential girl boss should have. I love my life planner and blog planner here!
I start using a planner at the beginning of 2020 and I can see that my life more organized than before. Without a planner, I’m lost. I combine my physical planner with an organizing app called Trello and also google spreadsheets to help with my blogging tracking.
Since I want to be more organized and sometimes I forgot what I have to do, so planners are excellent for keeping you on track with what you need to get done during the day.
A Water Bottle
You need to stay hydrated while working in your home office. I used to use a glass that’s why I have to go back and forth to drink water. But I started to buy a few different water bottles and fill it up then put it on my desk. To be honest, I’m so bad at keeping my body healthy – I often forget to drink because I simply do not get thirsty. Having a water bottle next to me will be like a reminder and make me drink enough water even when I’m not thirsty!
Remember to have tumbler instead of plastic bottles. Since I have a couple at home so I never have to buy plastic water bottles. Every little effort helps with saving your environment.
Coffee Mug
As a coffee lover – or cappuccino, I need a good coffee mug to get me through the day. I’m not a coffee or tea lover before, but since I’m working and sometimes feel sleepy, I definitely need to have at least a cup of coffee during the day. A cute coffee mug with a unique design is a good way to decorate your workspace and it’s a desk essential girl boss should have!
Plants
I used to have some greenery around my desk, but now I change it into dried flowers. If you love plants, it’s not only with oxygen in the air but also a creative way to decorate your workspace. Fake plants are a good option, like mine, if you are not good at keeping plants alive! Most of them don’t look that fake and still give you the greenery in your office. You can choose dried flowers, like a baby breath!
Various Color of Stationery
Since I always write down my task, I love to have a lot of color pens/highlighter to write with, have unique paperclips and I use a post-it to make notes on my planner. This is an essentials girl boss should have if you work on any online courses that include specific details!
Desk Decor
I love decorating my workspace and I have a dream to create my rose gold workspace!
This is obviously different for everyone if you love simple but elegant, white and black color is a nice choice! Or brown if you prefer aesthetic.
I bought driend flowers and put it in a vas since love seeing that when I’m working. I also have a lot of colorful pens next to me. It’s simple but the desk decor make me to stay focus and productive!
Wrapping Up
What are other essentials girl boss should have on her desk? Personally, I get motivated when having some of these at my desk – it always helps me with focusing on my daily to-do list. If you following me on Instagram, I always post a picture of a cappuccino! I always order the same drink whenever I’m going out to meet up with friends or when I stay at home.

This is such a good list! I definitely feel like nowadays with everything going digital, you cannot do anything without a laptop; especially a laptop that will last a long time! That’s why im so grateful for my Macbook, its being working with me for almost 6 years now. Thanks for sharing your list xxx
Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts with us, Josie 😀
It seems pretty decent and inspirational!:)) Two mugs of coffee for me, though!
Haha, you’re right! Thank you for reading 😀
ohh i agree with so many of these – i always have coffee, my laptop and planner on my desk!
Love the ideas! I have a few planners and a desk lamp on my desk so far, but I think I should add a few plants as well. x
You should, dear! I bought dried flowers since I’m not on good terms with living plants lol ~ Thank you for reading, Chrissy xxx
It’s amazing how much a plant or a fun coffee mug can brighten your day! My husband came home a few weeks ago with a surprise – it was this adorable black and teal mug that says ‘Dog’s Best Friend’ on it. Every time I look at it through the day, it makes me smile (as does the coffee it contains lol)
You’re right! I like to put things I love around me to keep brighten my day! Coffee, plants, colorful stationery, planner, so on. And I adore dogs so much, I have three at home for 6 years. I’m gonna find a coffee mug like yours lol ~ my mom planning to make them clothes for Christmas soon, so can’t wait 😀
I have most of these things on my desk, and I have a lot of plants around the room but not actually on my desk! I love all your Amazon picks, they are very pretty xx
Nice to hear that, Sophie! Thank you for reading 😀
I’ve been a full-time blogger for years and I don’t even have my own DESK, so I guess that’s a good place to start haha! I’m getting an office built though so I can’t wait to get my desk and all my essentials. Plants, plants, plants for me!
Ohh it’s great, Jen! I have my old rooms for years and I use my study desk so I’m planning to have my own workspace when I have my own house 😀
Hope you can have your own desk soon and get organized! Thank you for reading xxx
Yes to plants! I recently added a couple to my desk and they really do brighten things up. Now I just need to remember to water them.
Yes, you’re right! Because I’m not good at keeping plants alive, so I prefer to have dried flowers 😀
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, Michelle xxx
You have some great items on your desk 🙂 I have a cat bed on mine so my cat can have a little nap next to me while I work 🙂 xx
