Short Tutorial/FAQ – Any Tech-related Ideas for 2026?

Question: I want my New Year's resolutions to include things to improve my digital well-being and security. Do you have suggestions?

Answer: Yes. We've gathered this list of ideas for you to consider. Take a look and start doing at least a few of them in 2026. You'll be glad you did!

DIGITAL DECLUTTER AND SECURITY

• Audit and Delete Apps: Remove unused apps from your phone and disconnect third-party apps from accounts like Google, Facebook, and X to protect your data.
• Review Privacy Settings: Take time to understand and adjust privacy settings on your devices and accounts (especially smart TVs and new gadgets) to control data sharing. 

BETTER HABITS AND SCREEN TIME MANAGEMENT

• Notification Cleanse: Turn off non-essential notifications to reduce interruptions and improve focus.
• Schedule Tech-Free Times: Designate tech-free days or times (like before bed or during meals) to be more present.
• Set Time Limits: Use built-in tools or apps to limit time on distracting social media platforms. 

HEALTHIER TECH ENGAGEMENT

• Replace Scrolling with Hobbies: If you're bored, opt for reading, physical activity, or family time instead of defaulting to your phone.
• Use Tech Mindfully: Before picking up your device, ask yourself if you're genuinely interested or trying to avoid something else.
• Prioritize Face-to-Face: Make an effort to connect with people in person rather than through screens. 

Remember, you should control your devices — not the other way around.
