Our phones have a certain amount of digital storage space. You may say yea, but I can add more storage quickly with a few clicks. That is true, but there is a cost involved in saving this data to the cloud. And, as your storage needs grow, so does the cost. So, wouldn’t it be more cost effective to manage your digital storage space yourself? Purging unused data can significantly free up storage space and it doesn’t cost anything. Voicemail messages, text messages, unused apps, photos, videos, and files all use up valuable storage space. And your storage space can [...]

Pros and Cons of Subscription Services and Products

By |2023-09-11T11:04:22-05:00September 13th, 2023|Categories: Efficiency|Tags: , , , , , , |

I’ve often wondered how subscription services and products affect us in the long term. I’m not a big fan but I do have a couple of subscription services that I enjoy. There are so many different types of services and products that fall into this category. Of course, there were always magazine subscriptions, where a new paper magazine would magically appear in our mailbox every month or so. That still happens today, but there is now another option in terms of digital magazine subscriptions that a lot of people prefer. A newer subscription service that has become popular is for [...]

When you purchase items such as vehicles, appliances, garden equipment or any type of electronics, they come with user’s manuals. Some come in paper form, while others can be accessed online.  These manuals are very important to understand the operation and maintenance associated with the purchased product.

As with anything in life, what works for one doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for everyone.  Think about the different options listed here, and decide which [...]

Stay Connected, It’s Essential

These are trying times to be sure.  With the directive to stay at home to stop the spread, it’s essential for us humans to stay connected without physical contact.  This is not easy to do since our overall well-being relies on human touch. Even on those occasions that some have to leave their homes, we’re instructed to stay six feet away from others.  At least we can see other people even though there is no physical contact. These measures are important to flatten the curve.  Those most impacted are the elderly, probably the most vulnerable of our population. People are [...]

Using a Wall Calendar

Nothing wrong with that, I use one myself. It’s old school but efficient. Some seniors are adapting to digital technology and use a computer, smart phones, or at least a cell phone.  Those that use smart phones may not use [...]
