illustration of football as a batteryWe've all been there-at the most inopportune moment, your smartphone battery dies and you're unable to call your supplier, customer or fantasy football commissioner. Rather than keeping your phone tethered to an outlet all day, here are a few tips to help keep your smartphone battery juiced: 1. Lower the brightness of your screen; this will be adjustable under "Settings." Keep in mind that the screen is one of the biggest power hogs on any smartphone, so shut it off when you're not goggling at NFL stats. 2. Shut off your GPS, Bluetooth or WiFi when not in use. If these are turned on but you're not following a map, using your Bluetooth earpiece or downloading team rosters, your battery is working overtime for no reason. 3. Disable your email "push." Unless you know you're expecting a crucial injury report, err … change order, odds are you don't need your phone to automatically download email. With this turned off, your email will download only when you tell it to. Keep these tips in mind and you should be able to remain in-touch, productive and on top of your fantasy division as well as your business.
