WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER

From cutting-edge hardware to better control of home network, here are all the ways can help you be more productive while at work tech

In these days of hybrid working and the vanishing boundary between our work lives and our home lives, it can be tempting to pour every last minute we have into getting on top of our workload. But this can often increase your stress, which is why it's vital to work smarter, not harder.

One of the best ways you can boost your productivity is to make the most of the tech at your disposal. Whether it's cutting-edge laptops, labour-saving voice assistants or tools to speed up your home network, plenty of tech can help ensure you're achieving your best while at work. Here are just a handful of ways the latest gear - and a little help from EE - can ensure you're smashing all your goals at work.

Changing gear

First of all, working smarter means getting the right gadgets together.

Fortunately, there's no end of powerful options out there to help you tear through your to-do list. Laptops like the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 5G or the Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Pro offer all the power you could need to tackle various tasks at work - all while providing the portability to help you work from wherever you're at.

And just a couple of smart purchases can help turn the most basic setup into a productivity powerhouse.

Picking up a second monitor will make it easier to keep abreast of your emails while you crunch through spreadsheets or creative work. And if you regularly need to join video calls, picking up a 4K webcam like the Obsbot Tiny 4K will not only show you at your best but it will automatically keep you perfectly framed to boot.
