You can own a laptop for five years and still not know how to use it.

Think about that for a second.

Most jobs now involve a computer. Even small ones.

Yet many adults never learned the basics properly. They picked things up by guessing.

That works until it does not. A lost file. A strange email. A form that will not submit.

So I put together a simple 20 point checklist

Give yourself 1 point for every skill you can do without asking for help. Nobody sees your score but you.

Your score tells you exactly where to start.

Inside, you will also find:

A 4 week fix plan. Just 15 to 20 minutes a day.

The warning signs of a suspicious email.

Quick answers to the questions people ask me most.

Some people will score above 17. Some will score below 6. Both are fine, because you only need to know your starting point.

Take the checklist and tell me your score in the comments. I will be reading.
