As a kid snow days were free days off, when you drank cocoa and
played in the snow! As an adult these are great days to get those random chores
done around the house.
Here
is a list of 6 technology-related chores to keep you busy while you're cooped-up
inside.
1.
Backup! Snow days are a good time to check on your various backup systems and ensure that everything is running smoothly. Double-check
that everything that should be backed up still is and that your regular backups
are still scheduled. Backups are so important!

2.
Photo organizing. This is such a pain to do but it's perfect
for snow days while watching a movie. Take the time to better organize files
and archive libraries that you no longer need to access regularly. This helps
backups go more smoothly, frees up space for new files and helps you find
exactly what you're looking for with ease.
3.
Upload
those smartphone photos.
Related to photo organizing, this task means actually getting them off of your
phone or camera to a more permanent location. There are auto programs, like
Dropbox, that will help. Don't worry about sharing them with the world but
maybe you want to have a few developed to brighten up your house (since you're
spending extra time there anyway).
4.
Upgrade
your OS. Now that your
backups are all done check out upgrading the operating system on your computer.
This usually takes a while and renders your computer useless for an hour or two
so it's a perfect snow day job!
5.
Untangle
cables. Do you have a jungle
of cables behind your desk or TV? Today's the day to untangle and organize your
cable storage. Here are some creative
options to tame the jungle.
6.
Buy
printer ink. Price-shop online
for ink and order so that you'll have it before you run out next time. Just do
it.
