You schedule your doctor, dentist, even your dog’s vet checkup. ​

But when was the last time your business tech had a real exam? ​

✅ Not “we fixed the printer.” ​
✅ Not “everything seems fine.” ​

We're talking a full-scale tech health check. ​

Most slow computers aren’t old…​

they’re cluttered.​

The real culprit?​

🚫 27 programs running in the background​
🚫 46 browser tabs open​
🚫 No updates in 6 months​
🚫 A desktop full of “final_FINAL_EDIT_reallyFINAL.pdf”​

Tech tip: restart weekly + close background apps.​

You might gain YEARS of life back.

You could lose photos on your phone if you never turned on automatic cloud backup.​

Your quick fix:​

iPhone → Settings > Your Name > iCloud > Photos > Turn On​
Android → Settings > Google Photos > Backup > On​

Once it’s on?​

Your memories survive:​

✔ Dead phone​
✔ Lost phone​
✔ Broken phone​
✔ “I thought they were saved!”​

Backup once = peace forever.

Every business has “I know this is bad, but we still do it” tech habits.​

Clicking “remind me later.” ​
One password for everything. ​
Sharing logins through text. ​
Admin access for half the company. ​
Workarounds older than your office furniture. ​
The spreadsheet that secretly runs everything.​

You don’t need more discipline — you need better systems.​

If your email keeps kicking you out, it’s not haunted.​
It’s usually one of these:​

1️⃣ Your password got changed on another device​
2️⃣ Your security settings require re-authentication​
3️⃣ Your browser is auto-clearing cookies​
4️⃣ Another device is signed in and timing you out​
5️⃣ You ignored an update (your browser’s begging for one)​

The fix?​

Update. Clear cache (not cookies).​

And turn on MFA so your account stops freaking out.​

💡 Save + send this to someone who’s texted “UGH my email logged me out AGAIN.”

Tech Tip:​

You know copy + paste…​
but do you know this one?​

🔍 CTRL + Shift + T (Command + Shift + T on Mac)​

Reopens the last tab you accidentally closed.​
It’s basically “undo” for your browser.​

Try it once — you’ll use it forever.

This is what happens when you partner with an MSP that actually understands your business — not just your technology.​

When your IT provider treats you like a valued partner instead of a ticket number, everything changes. Your team is more productive. Your stress levels drop. And you can finally focus on growing your business instead of putting out tech fires.​

This is what IT support should look like.

‘Wait, we still pay for that?’​​

‘When did we even sign up for this?’​​

‘What even is this?’ 😳​​

Go through your credit card statement.​​

You’ll probably find at least $500/month in forgotten subscriptions.​​

That’s $6,000 a year (aka your 2026 vacation fund. 🏖️​)​

What would you rather pay for: unused software or actual sunshine?​ Read more here: https://www.tndi.net/blog/stop-funding-these-3-tech-money-pits-take-your-family-to-hawaii-instead​

If you're only using passwords to protect your accounts, you're leaving the door wide open.​

Here's the reality: Passwords get stolen. They get phished. They get cracked. It happens every single day to businesses just like yours.​

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) stops hackers even when they have your password.​

Think of it like your house: A password is the lock on your door. MFA is the deadbolt, the alarm system and the security camera combined.​

Even if someone steals your key (password), they still can't get in without the second factor — usually a code sent to your phone or generated by an app.​

The data is clear: MFA blocks 99.9% of automated attacks.​

Enable it on everything: E-mail, banking, cloud apps, social media, your business systems — all of it.​

Yes, it adds an extra 10 seconds to log in. But it could save you from a breach that costs thousands (or millions) and destroys your reputation.​

10 seconds of inconvenience vs. months of recovery. Easy choice.

"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" sounds like a joke, but it's actually solid advice.​

Here's why:​

Your computer loads dozens of programs, services and processes throughout the day. Some crash quietly in the background. Others hog memory. Updates sit waiting to install. Temporary files pile up.​

A restart clears all of that out.​

It closes those zombie processes eating your RAM. It applies security updates that keep you protected. It gives your system a fresh start.​

Most performance issues? Gone after a restart.​

Pro tip: Restart at least once a week. Your computer (and your IT team) will thank you.​

Not everything needs to be complicated. Sometimes the simplest solution is the right one.
