With the run up to Christmas it can be a good time to get through some of those little administrative tasks that you’ve been putting off for some time, so here are 10 things you could be looking at getting done before you tuck into your turkey (or preferred alternative).

• Clean out your electronic mail inbox and sent items to give you a good start to the New Year.
• Make a backup of your essential files just in case the Christmas gremlins run free whilst you are away.
• Check all your consumable supplies so you don’t get caught out early in the New Year.
• Uninstall all those “one-off” programs that you have been meaning to remove from your computer.
• Make a note of the makes, models, and serial numbers of all your important equipment and put this list safe somewhere.
• Sort out your document folders and archive very old stuff.
• Install the data encryption software, on your USB stick, you’ve been meaning to get round to.
• Check your privacy settings on those social web accounts you’ve signed up for throughout the year.
• Update your online/email calendar with your important events for next year.
• Label all your plugs and chargers so when they all get mixed up you can at least figure out what’s what.
• Before you go home for Christmas, switch off any equipment that doesn’t really need to be left on.

Merry Christmas
