Making Your Phone Faster

We do not think about turning off our devices because they can last so long without being charged and then we just plug them in and they are ready to go. It is so simple but it can really make a difference in the speed of your phone. It might also help when it comes to using internet phone services and cloud services. It might also help to manually clear the caches periodically. Also, delete those unused mobile applications that you haven't even thought out in months. Do you really need all those games on your phone? iOS 8 includes many handy features, including the ability for apps to use Background App Refreshes. If you utilize an app sporadically but can't delete it from your device, you can try disabling some of the features surrounding the app -- namely, push notifications and background refreshes.

Memory in Business

Memory goes a long way when it comes to building relationships and relationships are one of the most important aspects of a business. Memory can also build trust and enable you to really connect with the other person. Sometimes a mobile application just will not cut it. One of the things that you can do to help improve your memory is to get more sleep. I know this goes without saying but so many people burn the midnight oil just to get more done. They would be better off sleeping though. Instead of drinking coffee, you should try drinking green tea in the morning as well as fruits and veggies. You should also challenge your brain by breaking routines such as taking a different route home or shopping at a different store. There are any number of challenging things that you can try doing. Lastly, try laughing more. There is some evidence to suggest that laughter can help fight depression and anxiety. So, go ahead, spend some time browsing funny pictures of the grumpy cat.

Tech Rituals That Every Business Should Do

If you are running a business, you need to make sure that you have an online presence. That is how most people will be able to find out about what it is that you do or sell. It is also a great place to advertise and promote your brand. Web development and design are pretty important because first impressions are not something that you can take back. One of the other things that you need to be doing to checking for security threats periodically. You don't want to be in the dark about some new hack related to your e-mail or cloud service provider. If there is a hack and you don't take action, your company can be vulnerable and exposed--or even legally liable. You should also do a quick check of your social media feeds and see if anyone is speaking badly about your brand. Then take action to correct it by dispelling rumors or asking the poster to remove the comment. Lastly, make sure that you visit your own site to make sure that everything is working properly and customer can get to where they want to go on the site.
