1. Goals
Having daily goals helps you prioritize, meaning you'll focus on projects you need to work on rather than wasting your resources on things that don't.

2. Positive Mindset
When your state of mind is generally optimistic, you're better able to handle everyday stress in a more constructive way.

3. Notepad
Aside from helping you keep track of your to-do list, your notepad can also be a good medium to test your traditional drawing skills.

4. Playlist
Music can give the right vibes and block out distracting noise in your workspace, helping you get into the "creative zone" and be more engaged with work.

6. Tablet
Unlike some devices, tablets offer a pleasant and seamless experience for users - they're light, portable and they allow you to illustrate better than a laptop or computer.

7. Comfort Drink
Having your comfort drink on the side can help stay active while doing projects. It also helps you feel ready and energized.
