Simple Tech Resolutions for 2026: Security and Wellbeing

Many people make New Year tech resolutions. Small goals are easier to keep. Choose one or two tech promises and start slowly.

Try to turn off notifications on your phone and computer. Delete apps you do not use and clean photos to free space. Use a password manager to store strong passwords and to make accounts safer. Set tech-free times at night so you sleep better. Update apps and the phone system when updates are available. Ask a friend to help if changes feel hard. Start with one week and check progress. These small steps help your privacy and your sleep.
