  1. Unroll.me

This is an amazing website that helps you get rid of all your unwanted junk mail.  Follow the simple instructions, and it will allow you to unsubscribe from loads of unwanted email lists you are signed up to, and it includes a surprising amount of lists you are signed up to that you didn’t know you were.  Sometimes you want to receive promotional emails, but get so many!  By using the “Rollup” feature, you can get all of these emails in one email per day.  It will give you a spring clean of your inbox in under 5  minutes.

2. Pictures

If you are like us then your pictures will fill up most of your phone.  Many taken by your kids, and far too many of your pet.   Upload pictures and videos to Google Photos (unlimited backup space for free!) This not only saves space on your device but helps keep your memories organized and easily searchable.

3. Merge Contacts

Most email providers have a method to remove duplicates in your contacts quickly and easily.  It will feel so good when you go into your phone or email and you don’t have 5 contact details for the same person, or their email on one and their phone on the other.

4. Factory Reset

For the hard-core spring cleaners, Factory Reset your device once a year. This allows you to start from scratch and only re-install the things you actually use, so you don’t build up clutter year after year.  Just be sure you’ve saved the content you want to keep beforehand!  Also ensure that you are sharing your photos in a cloud or on another device – just in case.

 

Alternatively, if you struggle with IT, or simply don’t have the time sort this yourself, get in touch and March House can help you with private home based IT tutoring, remote Adhoc PA and tech services, and simple web design.
