Most people fail to use keyboard shortcuts effectively.
And by learning just 5-10 common shortcuts (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+F, Alt+Tab) can save hours weekly.
“I got to memorize that?”
You could, but there’s another solution: just print a small list of the most useful shortcuts for your programs and tape it to your monitor until they become muscle memory.
Just give it a week of conscious practice, and see how much you dramatically increase your efficiency without any special skills or tools required.
It’s in plain sight.
The same goes for kitchen knives and never sharpening them properly.
A dull knife requires more force, leads to more slips, and makes food prep take longer.
How much longer? A few minutes adds up, let alone the headaches.
Spend just 5 minutes once a month using an inexpensive pull-through sharpener.
You don’t need professional skills because basic maintenance will dramatically improve cutting efficiency, make cooking faster, and actually make your kitchen safer by reducing the force needed to cut ingredients.
Imagine if you cut your fingers off, how much differently would your life be?
Where else are we no moving as efficient as we could, and just a slight tweak would be the game changer we didn’t know we needed?
