Technology is an important
part of your lives. We can barely do without it. Consequently, you have
developed some perennial habits that we find it difficult to give it up.
Notwithstanding the fact it is affecting your productivity and routine, you
still find it had to break it. As you walk into 2017, Jumia Travel shares 6
tech habits you should not carry over to next year.
Never
restarting your computer
Consistently, leaving your
computer in sleep or standby mode won't affect your computer, but it will slow
it down. Thus, restarting your computer is a smart way to kill all the
background processes that may be making your computer slow. Embrace the habit
of completely shutting down or restarting your computer every once in a while.
Using
the same password for everything
This is a habit that you
really need to drop because it makes you susceptible to hacking.
Understandably, you don’t want to forget your password which is a key reason
why you use same passwords for your accounts. To be safe, vary the passwords of
your accounts as we enter 2017.
Clicking
refresh on your email constantly
Whether you are waiting
for an important email or not, you should not refresh your email every second.
It is better to continue working on other things and check your email intermittently.
Sitting
too close to the screen
Many of us are guilty of
this. We have the tendency of sitting too close to our computer not for a few
minutes but for hours. It's best to sit straight during the day with good
posture.
Eating as you work on a computer
Eating and working at the
same time will no doubt affect your output. It is advisable to either do your
work and eat later or eat first then focus on your work. Better still, you can
take a break to eat. You will not have to eat in piecemeal which you definitely
won’t enjoy.
Driving
and using your phone
Driving and using your
phone can easily distract you and eventually cause avoidable accidents. It is
better to concentrate on the road and ignore your phone as 2017 beckons.
