In general, my advice is that making something totally painless on a computer is worth extra cost or hassle setting up. I really like using dropbox for storing schoolwork because it’s just a folder on my desktop that I can use like any other, but it’s automatically backing up everything. I stay under the limit of what’s allowed in the free version, but I think the paid version may still be worth it for many people if you’re the kind of person who can’t be bothered to regularly back things up ordinarily. Another similar one is to get a laptop docking station and leave an external hard drive plugged into it. Then you can configure your backups to happen automatically whenever you’re connected, removing the need to do anything manually.
In other news, today was last day of the useless activity I picked to do daily for a week on day 8. I’ve been doing the “pat your head while rubbing your stomach in a circle thing,” which must have been pretty hilarious for anyone watching through my apartment window. But I’m proud to have successfully stuck with it for a full week, despite its ridiculousness!
