      Declutter your Smartphone

      Smartphones have become indispensable in our lives and we cannot live without them even for a few hours. But just like our vehicles, homes, offices, and our minds and body these smartphones and tablets can also get bogged down.  Even they need a tech cleansing. Use this lockdown time to give it a good tech bath and improve its performance. So, do the following. Take a complete backup of your phone data, contacts, etc., using the inbuilt backup mechanism or some third-party tool that saves to the cloud or your computer disk and save two copies. Then dive in and start deleting all unwanted smartphone apps that you may have installed over the months and years. Next, scan your contact list and delete all unwanted numbers and retain only the essential ones. You will be amazed to know how many unwanted numbers you will find. Next delete all unwanted photos, videos, screenshots, and other endless social media messages that you never had time to remove. Next, update all the useful apps and also see if the phone manufacturer has a firmware update. Do the same activities for all the smartphones in your house. Once you do all these activities your phones will become healthy and vibrant.

      Tidy up your Computer

      Just like your smartphone your computer also needs a tech cleansing. But too many people are unable or unwilling to spend a few hours to fine-tune their computers and will be using them endlessly. This lockdown is a good time to give your computer its much-needed maintenance. Similar to a smartphone, first take a backup of all essential data. Make two backups just in case. Then roll up your sleeves and do the following. Uninstall all unwanted applications, tools, and other teeny weeny stuff like browser add-ons you may have installed over the years. Next, search your disk drive for large unwanted files and delete all of them. Install a disk defragging tool and a registry cleaning tool. For example, you can install the tested and proven Wise Disk cleaner and Registry cleaner
