A complete guide with prompts: a routine finds unanswered threads, tracks deadlines, and drafts polite reminders. AI writes the draft — you always send.
Ctrl+Backspace
Ctrl + Backspace deletes the whole word to the left, Ctrl + Delete the whole word to the right. Typos disappear in one go.
Win+H
Win + H on Windows, or the microphone on your phone's keyboard. Dictate a first draft of an email in a third of the time.
In the car, on a walk, with your hands full of groceries: “Hey Siri, add…” and the thought is in the system.
(Impact × Urgency) / Effort — three numbers per task, and the database sorts itself by actual value.
The query (p1 | p2) & due:today shows only what actually matters today. You don't see the rest — and that's the point.
“every Monday at 10 #meetings p1” — Todoist picks up the date, recurrence, project, and priority straight from the text.
The trick isn't standing all day — it's alternating positions, plus a bit of movement that fits into your work without interrupting it.
A neck that hurts from a monitor set too low. A stand or arm for a few dollars fixes years of discomfort.
One charger stays at your desk, a second one lives permanently in your bag. A few bucks buys the end of endless repacking and forgetting.
Monitor, keyboard, network, charging — all through a single USB-C cable. Connecting your laptop stops being a five-minute ritual.
Client onboarding, publishing an article, the monthly close — a repeated process without a checklist means forgetting something, every time.
On Friday or Sunday, go through your calendar, tasks, and notes — close out loose ends, plan three priorities. Monday starts with clarity.
Not a list of twenty items, but three things that absolutely must get done today. Everything else is a bonus.
A task with no time attached is just a wish. Drag your tasks into concrete calendar slots — and give your day a budget, like money.
Five minutes at the end of work: write down loose ends, glance at tomorrow, close the laptop. Work stays at work — even in your head.
Switching between types of work costs energy. Grouping similar tasks into blocks saves dozens of minutes a day.
One simple rule that erases half your meetings: whoever calls the meeting sends an agenda and expected outcome in advance.
A shared document both sides keep adding to between meetings. The meeting has structure, and the history is easy to find.
A good assignment has four parts: what needs to exist, why, by when, and how you'll know it's done. Leave the process to the person doing it.
Three questions in a form on Friday: what went well, what's in progress, what's stuck. Suddenly the 45-minute status meeting is unnecessary.
Calendar, tasks, and weather on your home screen mean you open your phone, glance, and close it — instead of a tour through your apps.
Two hours a day when anyone can come to you with anything — and the rest of the day belongs to your own work. The team adjusts within a week.
In mobile Gmail and Outlook, set swipe right to archive, swipe left to snooze. Clear your inbox while waiting in line for coffee.
Swiping down on the home screen opens search — apps, contacts, messages, and calculations. Faster than hunting for icons.
The microphone on your keyboard writes what you say — reliably. A reply on the move doesn't have to wait for the keyboard.
Notes next to your browser, or a calendar next to email — split screen is genuinely usable on bigger phones.
iOS and Android can both hold non-urgent notifications and deliver them as a summary at times you choose. Your phone stops yanking at your attention.
Landing a finger right in the middle of a word is a lottery. Holding the space bar turns your keyboard into a touchpad for precise cursor movement.
