5 MORE Ways to Make Your Computer Work For You (And Not The Other Way Around)

In my last post, I focused on ways to automate tasks on your computer, from backing up to document writing. Automation is something that computers are especially good at — it is, after all, what they do.

That time passed decades ago, with technological advances in transport and communication, and now families can be strewn across the country, or even the world.

How to Get Things Done with Jott
