• Try alternative browsers

Although it comes pre-installed on many computers as the default browser, the most popular browser, especially on Microsoft Windows, is Internet Explorer. While the browser is highly efficient, there are other great browsers available for free that often work much faster and feature great add-ons and plugins to personalize your Web browsing experience. Some of the favorite options include Chrome, Opera or Firefox. Rather than stick with one single browser, try another browser. Have more than one on your system so you easily switch to another when one is a bit slow.

• Use the online Cloud backup

Almost every workaholic has to deal with information on a regular basis and depending on how important or sensitive the information is, they often need to save it and possibly back it up on different disks. While flash drives and hard disks can be handy, they can be easily stolen, tampered with or destroyed by a virus. To eliminate this risk, try any of the cloud storage solutions available on the internet. Some example include One Drive, Dropbox, or Google Drive. Backing up to a cloud is a seamless process and provides twice the advantage any hard storage disk can offer.
