Business & Office
I run businesses, work from home, work from an office, carry technology around with me, lose files I swore I saved, and somehow always find another gadget that might make life easier.
This is where I share the business and office products I actually buy, use, test, love, and occasionally regret buying.
I buy it because I think it will make business easier.
Sometimes it does. Sometimes it absolutely does not.
Between running businesses, managing operations, working with clients, organizing files, creating content, and trying to keep everything together, I have collected my fair share of business gadgets and office supplies.
Instead of just telling you something looks cool on Amazon, I would rather show you what happens when I actually try to use it.
Does it actually make work easier?
I am looking at the things that matter when you actually have to use the product—not just how pretty the listing looks.
Was it easy to set up? Did it solve the problem I bought it for? Would I buy it again? And most importantly...
Is it Chaos Approved?

Office Door Sign
Because apparently people need to know whether I am available, in a meeting, working, or hiding from the chaos. A simple little office find that can make communication a whole lot easier.
Small Desktop Computer
A whole computer packed into a tiny little box. I wanted something that could handle business without taking over the entire desk. Small does not automatically mean useless—so this one had to go through the Chaos Approved test.
External Hard Drive
Videos, client files, business documents, photos, backups... eventually the computer starts screaming for help. Extra storage is not exciting until you desperately need it. Then suddenly this little box becomes your best friend.
Body Cam
Yes, I bought a body cam for business. 😂 Sometimes you need your hands free while documenting work, recording what is happening, or capturing content. It may be one of the more random business purchases—but that is exactly why it belongs on Chaos Approved.
Why do I keep buying this stuff?
Save Me Time
If something can eliminate unnecessary steps, make a process easier, or save me from doing the same thing over and over again, you have my attention.
Keep Me Organized
Files, meetings, projects, clients, videos, documents, and about seventeen other things happening at once. Anything that helps organize the chaos gets a chance.
Let Me Work Anywhere
Business does not always happen behind one desk. I like technology and tools that make it easier to work, document, create, and keep things moving wherever I happen to be.
