1. Declutter Your Digital Space

Regularly delete unused applications, empty your trash bin, organize files into folders, and utilize Cloud Storage efficiently. Consider using it for files you don’t need readily accessible.

3. Manage Startup Apps

Many programs automatically launch at startup, consuming valuable system resources. Review your startup programs and immediately turn off applications you don’t need upon boot-up. This will free up memory and improve your computer’s overall speed.

4. Restart Power

Just like humans, computers sometimes need a refresh. A simple restart clears temporary files and frees up memory, often resulting in a noticeable performance boost.

5. Dust Regularly

Dust buildup can hinder your computer’s cooling system, leading to overheating and performance issues. To keep your device running cool and efficiently, regularly clean it (using compressed air or a professional cleaning service).

Following these simple tips, you can ensure your Mac or PC stays in top shape all summer. But remember, unexpected issues can still arise!
