Matcha is the new coffee. This Japanese green stuff is said to be full of healthy properties and will save you from caffeine palpitations. Dash of (vegetable) milk of your choice in the milk frother – or the best budget variant – and you can start your working day with some pampering.

To keep order, I use the free app T and a paper calendar slash notebook variant. Misc Store in Amsterdam has the most stylish agendas with plenty of space to write down your notes.

Mothering, working and being social is quite something. Oh yes, we also want to be fit and relaxed. Through the Mogy app you can take classes at home or at the office during your work break to become stronger and more relaxed. Now that's handy.

With the amount of books I go through on a monthly basis, I thought it was time to treat myself to the latest e-reader. And let me tell you, best decision ever. The Kobo Libra Color anything but disappoints. You can read in color, highlight, even take notes with a pen and it is a lot cheaper than the reMarkable.

In addition to being my favorite holiday attribute, it is now also my weapon of choice during working hours. Ideal for quickly scribbling down thoughts and taking notes during meetings.

Flip's tip: buy one immediately screen protector and (in my opinion) it nicest case at.

Here's the team that's spending the summer in the Netherlands and getting away again in the fall! So my back to the office essentials can actually be used all year round.

Now it seems as if we don't talk to each other in the office (nothing could be further from the truth!), because previously mentioned by colleagues and also indispensable for me, my noise canceling earplugs from JBL. The pink, what else. Put on a nice playlist or podcast ('Moordcast' is my favorite moment) and let's have a blast!

Furthermore, a fresh notepad makes me very happy. A to do list on paper just works best for me. Bee Søstrene Grene they always have nice ones.

A drawer full of delicious teas is also a must, otherwise I won't get through the day. Pukka has the tastiest in the most beautiful packaging.

Um, well, it's a well-kept secret, but I'm a Red Bull (sugar-free) junkie, but I only drink them when they're ice cold, and only with a metal straw. I have the latter in every bag and in every pouch (not just useful in the office!).

Just like Anne, I swear by written notes and to-do lists, I really can't live without them. Not very original perhaps, but I also like a good classic, and that's where the... Moleskine notebooks the very best.

Finally: I consider myself an ambassador for the heating pads Stoov and I am very proud of that, because I think they are really indispensable for that cozy home at the office feeling. Read more: Stoov (in the office I especially want the Big Hug never miss it again).

During my bike ride (just 10 minutes) to work, I love to start the day with some cheerful tunes. Even though the trip can hardly be called a trip, music makes it extra gemütlicher. But not only on the bike, my bike also makes me very happy at the office airpods that help me concentrate and outzone for a while.

So, without music you wouldn't have a happy start to the day, but without water you certainly wouldn't have a nice (work) day either. With this extra large one Dopper insulated thermos bottle you get through every day well hydrated, and personally I have also fallen for the 'sophisticated' looks (as far as that is possible with a water bottle).

Also a nice tip for when you come home after a long day at work and feel like some inspiration aka self-development: the book The Creative Act by Rick Rubin. Also nice for on the bookshelf, or the coffee table or on the bedside table for one late night browsing session.
