Five tips to increase the speed of your MacBook Air

One of the things that slows me down is when my macbook air starts slacking. Here are 5 tips that can change that for you. 

  1. Say "bye-bye" to your desktop wallpaper: Yes, that breathtaking mountain range wallpaper may be easy on the eyes, but it's also slowing down your MacBook Air. Get rid of that desktop wallpaper, or change it to a solid color to help your Mac run faster.

  2. Give your Mac some space: I know it's tempting to keep all of your 90's music playlists and cat videos on your MacBook Air, but hoarding all that data will only make your Mac crawl like a snail. So, free up some space by deleting unnecessary files, and store the rest on an external hard drive.

  3. Close those tabs: Are you the kind of person who keeps dozens of tabs open at once? Well, that's just like inviting all of your friends over to your house party when it's just you who's there. Close those tabs you're not using, and let your Mac breathe!




  4. Stop those background apps: Your MacBook Air has a lot of programs running in the background, which can seriously slow it down. So, make sure to check your Activity Monitor regularly and quit those background apps that you're not using. Your Mac will thank you.

  5. Give your Mac a break: Just like how you need a break from work, your MacBook Air needs a break from time to time too. Shut it down and give it a good night's sleep, or put it in hibernation mode when you're not using it. A rested Mac is a faster Mac!
Tell me if these worked and if you have a better trick, tell me too!

Monday Blues: Blow them away

 As a sales leader in the health tech industry, I understand the importance of starting the week off on the right foot. Mondays can be tough, but with the right mindset and approach, you can beat the so-called "Monday blues" and set yourself up for a successful week.




The first step in beating the Monday blues is to prioritize your well-being. It's important to take care of yourself, both physically and mentally. This might mean starting your day with some light exercise or meditation to help clear your mind and energize your body. Make sure to eat a nutritious breakfast and hydrate throughout the day. By taking care of yourself, you'll have the energy and focus you need to tackle whatever challenges come your way.

Another important factor in beating the Monday blues is staying organized. Set aside time on Friday afternoon or over the weekend to review your to-do list for the upcoming week. Prioritize your tasks based on importance and urgency, and make a plan for how you'll tackle them. By starting the week with a clear plan, you'll feel more in control and less overwhelmed.

It's also important to stay positive and maintain a growth mindset. Remember that every challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow. Instead of focusing on what could go wrong, focus on what you can do to make things go right. Set goals for yourself and celebrate your progress along the way. By staying positive and focusing on growth, you'll be more resilient in the face of adversity.

Finally, don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. As a sales leader, I know the importance of collaboration and teamwork. If you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck on a particular task, reach out to a colleague for help or advice. Working together, you'll be able to accomplish more than you would on your own.

Beating the Monday blues is all about prioritizing your well-being, staying organized, maintaining a positive mindset, and working together with your colleagues. With these strategies in mind, you can start your week off on the right foot and set yourself up for success. 

Remember, every day is a new opportunity to learn and grow, so embrace the challenges and make the most of every moment.
