Clean Your Screen to Reduce Eye Strain
On the surface when things derail it’s the little things that help, start with these small things
Sometimes in an effort to be perfect or just keeping it together the simple self-care routines we would normally do derail. Keeping your tools in optimal condition is and important positive feedback loop to support in the day to day.
Why Clean my Screen – So What?
We can look at this from two perspectives. 1) It improves efficiency while using the devices and 2) It’s a small self-care activity that adds up over time
Improved Efficiency
In the digital world we spend a lot of time looking at our iPhone’s or Mac’s, a clean screen allows us to see things more accurately with less eye strain

Tips to Keep Devices Clean Effortlessly
Buy a dedicated microfiber cloth to keep on the desk or in the laptop bag when travelling. I feel as I’m writing this that it should be more complicated (my inner drama), but in practical terms it’s really that simple.
The best thing is you really don’t need a specialist microfiber cloth, any generic one will do as long as you hand wash it from dirt it collects every so often
Until next time, look after yourself!
