Backup your files, clean up your computer and delete what you don't need!


·         Clean your keyboard. After eating at your desk, crumpling papers, opening boxes, who knows what junk and residue is in your keyboard? Use a duster to eliminate any nasty particles and buildup in your keyboard to make it look like new again.
·         Go through all your emails. . Take some time out each day to delete old emails and unsubscribe from subscriptions that you get that are no longer of interest!
·         Clean up your digital trail. Remember that blog you started, wrote a few posts for, then never logged in again? Make sure if an employer Google’s your name that all content is appropriate and relevant. Deactivate any old accounts you no longer use, although keep in mind that information may not be gone forever.
·         Delete what you're not using . Go through your phone or tablet and delete any apps that you haven't used in a couple months, so they're not taking up space on your device. Same goes for files on your computer -- delete what you don't need.
·         Backup your files. Make sure that you are backing up your files to an external hard drive or out to the cloud.  You will thank me later.

  1. “Backup your files” – This is the most important thing that you should do aside from those. It’s okay if you miss those things to do, but do not ever forget to back up. Save yourself from worrying in the future.

  2. The things that you mentioned above are very important for you to keep your computer or your laptop in good working condition. They are very simple, but once you miss any of them, something will surely go wrong with your PC. You have to keep your files organized and remove those programs that you don't necessarily use. Backing up your files on an online storage is significant. I bet crying over lost data is one thing that you don't want to experience in life.
