Have you heard the saying “work smarter, not harder”?  It often comes to mind on my high stress days… which I have to admit roll around all too frequently.  I was just chatting with my husband and analyzing ways to get more done without actually doing more work.  Sounds a little crazy, doesn’t it?  Almost sounds impossible, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve that I’m starting to tap into.  This is a sponsored post with E FUN/Nextbook and I received a Nextbook Flexx 11A to facilitate this post, all opinions are my own. 

The struggle is real!  I work at home and let me tell you, it’s not as fun as it sounds.  While, I wouldn’t want to trade it for anything… I definitely struggle balancing it all.  Work and personal time has become so blurred that it’s become impossible to tell the difference between the two.  It’s SO time to do whatever I can to unblur those lines.  My goal is to have very clear time that I’m working and when I’m not.  Clearly, I have my work cut out for me in this area because so far, nothing has worked to date. 

I’ve been jokingly telling my husband that I need a personal assistant.  And, while I’m partly joking… deep down I think it might actually need that much help.  Since, that’s not workable at the moment, I have to find ways to get my work done faster and also do things to help me keep up with my family and home, too.  Tapping into some helpful tech should definitely help make things a little easier for me.  I recently had a chance to see how Nextbook Flexx 11A might be a helpful tool to allow me to get some more time in my day.  First off, this model is convertible touchscreen tablet PC which allows me to easily use it either in my office space, on the go or laying down in bed.  That’s what I’m talking about. 

Another thing that I struggle with is squeezing in lunch while I’m trying to get work done.  Having a lightweight, easy to use option can help me get work done while still enjoying an energizing meal.  You can take the whole thing with the detachable keyboard or just the tablet… anywhere you need to go.  On a full charge, you’ll enjoy 8 hours of run time.  This week, I decided to treat myself to Chipotle.  It’s the little things.  No work missed on the go. 

The Nextbook Flexx 11A reminded me that I can get more out of my day by tapping into tech to make my days go smoother.  I can just grab the tablet and head to the kitchen and start cooking.  While I’m waiting for dinner to finish, I can check out some cat videos on YouTube or catch up on email messages.  😛

Nextbook Flexx 11A Features

This little piece of tech can stand on it’s own or be used as an addition to your main PC.  Setting it up was as easy as you can imagine with the help of Cortana.  You can choose to have “her” literally walk (and talk) you through the process.  This took me about 5 minutes to set up and I wasn’t super frustrated with the process.  Total win. 

Here are some additional technical features that you might need to know:

11.6″, 16:9 aspect ratio, high-resolution 1366×768 resolution (IPS) touchscreen

Intel® Atom™ Cherry Trail quad-core processor 1.84GHz (Z8300)

2GB DDR3L system memory

64GB onboard storage; Micro-SD card slot for expansion to 128GB

Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0

Front and back cameras with built-in microphone

Really, the best reason to consider this model is the affordability.  The Nextbook Flexx 11A is currently available for only $179.  Shop for the Nextbook Flexx 11A at Walmart.
