I’ve quickly realized a fanny pack is the best thing to have at work.
You can keep all your necessities close to you. I carry lip gloss/chapstick, extra batteries, lav mic, an extra hair tie (for windy days), and business cards!
I need to be better at staying hydrated throughout the day. Usually, I don’t because I fear a gas station bathroom (you get the struggle newsies). A big tumblr is essential for ice-cold water or hot coffee.
A phone lav is a lifesaver and pretty inexpensive to stay with you for emergencies.
Last, but not least, a phone tripod. It’s now essential for my live shots. I can be hands-free and have the stand right underneath me for reading. I talk with my hands so it’s more natural for me to not hold anything.
