Tidy Up Your Tech with the Microsoft Lumia + a Cricket Wireless Lumia 635 GIVEAWAY!
This has been a long cold winter. I am anxiously awaiting for Spring to arrive. It has been tough to be out and about when the weather is so cold. When Spring comes, I know I will be out every day in the garden or taking in some of the beauty in my town.
With spring just around the corner, it’s time to get organized! Microsoft Lumia wants to give you a hand with your spring cleaning this season. Better than washing your windows, we’ve got a few ideas up our sleeve to help you start fresh in your tech life:
* Get the most of your tech by eliminating tech clutter and ensuring your devices are in tip top shape! From simply deleting unused apps on your Lumia smartphone to using the #TileArt app to organize it all in a fun and easy way, there are so many ways to tidy up your tech.
* Cords, cables and chargers, oh my. It happens to all of us - messy wires, tangled chargers and cluttered cords. Check out the Nokia DT-903 Wireless Charging Plate – rather than plugging in your Lumia, simply set it on top!
* Microsoft also has some tips to make you go paperless and start a new cloud-based digital lifestyle– you can use OneDrive to sync your shopping list from your computer to your phone, compile to-do lists in one place, digitalize recipes, receipts and much more.
These are great tips. This is the perfect time to get your tech in order. I have started deleting old apps that I never use from my phone. I also have started deleting the photos I have on my phone and backing them up to an external hard drive. This keeps them safe and also frees us my phone for summer pictures.
I also have a treat for you all. I have a Cricket Wireless Lumia 635 for one lucky reader. If you want a chance to win, enter below on the Rafflecopter widget below!

Since you have mentioned it, it is time to spring clean the unused apps on my phone. It tends to get bogged down by all the running apps, and half or more are unnecessary. That Lumia phone has some great features. I like the idea of being able to charge it on a charging plate, and the OneDrive sounds real useful.
ReplyDeleteblow on everything as hard as I can.

ReplyDeleteWhen I remember, I use the air duster to blow away the food crumbs from my laptop. And when I remember, I use wet wipes to make my other food habits disappear from the keyboard.

ReplyDeleteI dont clean them i will be honest..
ReplyDeleteI take our computers outside and pull them apart and use the air compressor to blow out all the dust and gunk from the fans, heatsinks, radiators and all over inside. I regularly run CCleaner and spyware/malware scans so I don't have any problems with extra files and junk in the system.

ReplyDeleteI delete old pictures, apps that I don't use anymore, and pictures. I also find that clearing the cache and old texts cleans out space. For the outside, a careful rubdown and blast of compressed air works well!
