    Leave the OS to look after itself (don't try to defrag or anything).

     

    Don't let your boot disk get too full (absolute minimum of 10% free).

     

    Verify disks with Disk Utility about once a month.

     

    Stay away from dubious websites.

     

    Keep a backup of all your stuff (and ideally a second backup offsite in case of fire or theft).
