But spring is a time of renewal, and it is also the cruelest month...meaning, as the woman in this video rightly points out, it's time to get some things crossed off your technology "to do" list.
Here's a quick list to get you started:
1) Get a credit report or a D&B report, and look at what you see. Start your cleaning there. Put a 7 year lock on your credit report - there's really no reason not to.
2) Open the Google Home page. Type your name into it. Hit search. What do you see? Repeat for your family, etc.
3) Organize the files on your computer(s) (and phone...and websites...). Then back them up. 1 terabyte of storage is around $250 at this point. You have no excuse. If you are a business, be sure that your IT policies from security to backup are up to snuff. Then test them.
4) Assemble a list of all the web accounts you have. Those that are worthless, cancel. Those you use, be sure you check. Change your passwords, if you haven't in the last year.
5) Be sure that you have either secured or shredded files and papers with confidential information.
OK - maybe now you can buy those boot stretchers you've had your eye on.
