46 Hacks to Help Keep Your Electronic Gadgets in Top Shape

We spend most of the day looking on and off screens. We pop on for a quick check-in here and there, or if we use it for prolonged periods, we may step away for breaks occasionally. So it seems that the best way to treat our devices is to turn them off whenever they aren’t in use.

However, that’s not necessarily the case. As it turns out, frequently shutting off and turning back on our gadgets can slowly kill them over time. So instead, the best course of action throughout the day is to put them in sleep mode for a while. This gives them a chance to rest a little without all the effort it takes to shut down and start back up again completely.
