- I have recently started using RSS feeds to get news and other information. It is quite time-saving.
- Recently found out that word could open pdfs for edits. Used to upload pdfs to websites to get it converted into some editable format. I think Libreoffice can do the same.
- Got that spinning type of mop and mopping has become a bit easier.
I use a computer frequently. So I take the time to learn hot keys and shortcuts. The two minutes it takes to learn them is quickly made up for in productivity.
Indeed.
On windows, there’s the three finger Maximise and Minimise along with the alt + tab equivalent swipe, which I think is not really popular among many. Laptop users could save some time with that.
Any rare/useful shortcuts that you like/would teach others?
Get a night family and make them do all your work. Just make sure to:
Rinse your dishes. Seriously, it’s easy and makes them so much easier to wash later.
Know what you want to buy before going into a store, stick to your guns. Unless you want to dilly dally, it saves time.
Organize your stuff, makes finding things much faster. Adam Savage had a good tip: Befor you put something away, pretend you’re looking for it and put it where your first thought was. Next time you look for it, it’s in a natural spot for you.
Do some dishes while waiting for the microwave or toaster in the morning
Learn what the software or device you’re using can do. There’s often so much productivity packed in, you don’t even know what you’re missing.
For example code editors like VSCode or Sublime Text have easy ways to select and work on multiple lines/words at the same time that can make work SO much more productive and fast, it’s like magic. I see other people doing things line by line and it takes ages.
Microwaves have all kinds of presets that people rarely use. Read the manual and try them out.
