Wonder how many people don’t even shut down their work computer.

I shut down work computer every day and every day in the morning I start it up.

Sometimes if I really have something I didn’t finish and want to start on early in the morning then I leave it running with all apps open.

The Windows Update lady comes in once a month to give me a clean working surface.
I like to force myself to restart my computer and work desk every day.

I do this reset for my business side work, my programming project repo and my clinical work (I'm a kid physician).

I feel It both liberates me and at the exact time forces to understand my workflow and think of logical folders and separation of responsabilities. If something doesnt belong anywhere, maybe It is ephimeral and deserves to be erased... Though, but practical and I LOVE It.

But why should you ? I just do this if a new MacOs Version is installed.
Co workers always have issues like their WiFi being crap, all kinds of other issues.

Once they reboot all goes away.

If they would reboot once a week they would save couple hours of cursing and being annoyed every week.
