Technology-Friend or Frustration?
Here’s a question for you: Is technology your best friend, or your biggest frustration? If you’re like me, your answer on any given day could be either, neither, or both.
I have to say that, although I’ve had some challenges the past few days, I am thankful for the technology that exists in our world today. I still think of it as a miracle the way the internet has opened up the whole world to us–the fact that I am able to sit in my home office and provide my services to people all over the world! I have clients in Singapore, Canada, UK, and of course the US. A few years ago, I never would have thought it possible that I would be where I am today.
So, technical challenges aside, this post is more of a reminder to myself to be thankful for what I’ve got.
Given that, I am going to reformat my hard drive this weekend. It’s a good idea to do that occasionally just to completely purge it of unnecessary files and baggage that you’ve collected and no longer need. It’s a bit of a chore to get it all set back up and reinstall all of your programs, but soooo worth it!
Stay tuned…
