5 Free Boredom Busting Apps For Appy Travels on Planes, Trains, or Automobiles.   

I love to travel, but not necessary the process of getting there. Often I find myself with chunks of time with nothing to do, and looking for a distraction. Having these 5 free apps on my cellphone gives me enough variety to get me through long road trips, flights, or stopovers. 

Bonus: They don't require wi-fi or data to play meaning I can use them anywhere.  

I use an android phone but most of these free apps are available for iPhones and both android and ios tablets.

GET SMART: Sleuthing for best #Apps to #WorkSmarter @MicrosoftStore

As a blogger there is some expectation of consistency in my social media sharing and blog posts. Two things stay constant: 1.) I have to meet the commitments I've made whether to businesses or brands in the way of reviews, or readers in the way of regular posts. 2.) There are only 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. Life doesn't stop because I'm not at home at my laptop. My commitments don't change because I'm on vacation, at a conference, or have to carpool my kids. I still have to work, do reviews, publish and share posts, pictures, and observations with my readers and social media followers.

Given these constants, how do I work SMARTER and different to better meet these commitments? How do I work from anywhere to allow myself the freedom to travel and use those spare minutes between carpooling or life's other commitments most efficiently? What tools or Apps can help me meet my SMART goals, find better balance and get more satisfaction in my personal and professional life.

Some of you may have read my post about SELF being my word for 2015, and that I'm working hard to set SMART goals for both my personal life and my blog. To that end I am on the case to GET SMART and sleuth out the best productivity Apps and tools to meet my goals, manage my time and find some balance between my personal and my social SELF. 

I invite you to follow along on my fact finding mission. I'll be posting regularly about what Apps I find that make me app-y, and please share your favourites with me in the comments section. There are so many Apps I can't possibly find all the good ones, and I would love to learn more about the ones you have found.
