  1. I had this issue with a school in CA, I would just tell them the hard copy is on its way (if it really is) and ask if an electronic version (especially if your school has official electronic transcripts!) will suffice in the interim. Based on conversations I had with admissions folks, in most cases where hard copies are required, there is a period between when materials are due and when they start reviewing the applications, during which time all the materials are sorted and files for applicants are cobbled together out of the various pieces of paper. I think you will not be punished for getting in touch with the department
  2. I uninstall apps I never use (have a mac, so that'd be garage band, etc), use the CleanMyMac app regularly (it's not free but I'd say it more than makes up for it in the performance improvement I receive when I run it, they have a pc version too), and I do battery cycle it (although I don't let it get down below 20/25% because I'm paranoid about it dying on me). Also, BACK YOUR STUFF UP. Use a service, do it yourself, but take it as seriously as you take your taxes or whatever you take seriously. No, maybe you won't lose all your work or whatever, but the hassle of having to spend time trying to recover your work from random digital places/redownload all your articles from Jstor on a new or factory-reset computer is something that will be overwhelming in the extreme.
