Now that you know the great advantages of tracking computer usage, you should learn how to do it properly. This will help you take your work (or a private life) to a better, higher level. It’s a little hack that can change your life. Let’s take a look at the short list prepared by lifehacker:

DEFINE WHAT TO TRACK

As I already mentioned, when you track employees’ work, you have to be careful. If you breach their privacy and security, it may have legal consequences for you and your organization.

So the first step is to inform your employees or team that their work will be monitored. And the purpose of it is not to spy on them but to enhance their work and boost productivity. Then, discuss with all people what exactly you want to track. Which tasks, projects, tools, etc.

On the other hand, if you’re a parent caring for your child’s well-being, tracking web computer usage is a great way to protect them from the harmful influence of the internet. For example, you can block inappropriate sites and monitor child’s activity. It is a fantastic way to ensure their safety by not invading their privacy at the same time.

It is natural when you own a computer to become attached to it to a certain degree. This is also true if you work in a company that uses computers, you can become attached to the computer that helps you do your work. But many times our computers have issues and we are far to invested in them to take notice. Sometimes we are also far to invested in our business to notice the same problems. Bottom line, when a problem first starts, an expert needs to have a look as soon as possible.

1. Little problems nearly always become big problems

There are several key things that a casual computer user does on a daily basis that can result in a massive problem down the road. These same problems are then repeated by people in the work place, because people have similar computer habits at work that they have at home.

Over use of cleaning programs and efficiency scanners.

Refusal to acknowledge error messages.

Failure to clean out old programs and files.

Not getting routine maintenance.

When you don't correct these problems immediately they get worse. When problems get worse they eventually render the machine unusable. A trip to the computer repair person is needed and comes at a higher cost than it would have. Bottom line is that proper care of a computer and routine check ins with an expert are both important to proper health and your wallet. As much as you shouldn't go years without seeing your doctor, your computer should not go years without seeing it's doctor. 

2. Consider your problems before you take it to a repair person
As most computer repair people will tell you, "we are not mind readers, we need to know roughly what is wrong to be able to fix it". You don't need to have a degree to be able to notice what is wrong with your machine. But taking your computer to the repair person only to state that its acting "funny" does not help you, your computer, or your repair person. Proper communication can mean you get your device back faster than if they have to guess what is wrong. If your repair service comes to you they may need several days to fix a problem that could have been fixed faster with better communication. This can affect how efficient your business is.

3. All computers have an expiration date
We all wish our computer were stamped with a date when it is officially going to no longer function. But sadly, much like a car, they do not. This is due in part to advancements in replacement parts and systems. Even with steady replacement of bad parts, good care, and a proper use of a computer it will eventually die. Generally, this news is shared with you over the phone by your computer repair service.
