The Save Mantra

You're working in Microsoft Word typing a multi-page document and it freezes. Yes, Word does have an auto-recovery feature, but that only works in some circumstances.

Here's the solution. The "Save Mantra". Save when start, save every 10 minutes, and save when you're finished. I guarantee if you get into this habit, it will save you many hassles and even headaches down the road.

Saving is not inconvenient, it's your friend. It's only a keystroke away. Control + S on a PC or Command + S on a Mac.

Look at it this way, it takes only seconds to save, but every time you don't remember to save you run the risk of loosing everything up the present that has not been saved. Nobody likes having to retype an essay because they forgot to save at the beginning. Even if the program crashes or freezes, you'll have everything from your last save.
