Once again, more common sense that most people don’t seem to listen to. We’ve all been there: Working on a document for hours, slaving over it, getting it just right. Then, tragedy strikes: The power goes out. Just like that, your document is gone in an instant. When was the last time you saved it? Probably yesterday. Hopefully it wasn’t too much trouble formatting each section exactly the same, because you get to do it again.

What’s the moral of this story? Save your work, and save it often. It takes two seconds, but it could save you from redoing an entire days worth of work.
