Skill Drills and Updates

Conduct personal skill drills periodically (recommend no less than twice a year) to refresh your skills for methods you don’t often use, such as using e-mail, text, apps, Skype or Face time, sending photos and videos, and communicating using your social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.).

Update your apps and operating systems often to insure they will work when you need them.
