Q
Type “p1” and the task turns red, “tomorrow 9am” and it gets a due date. Quick Add understands it all in one line.
Ideas and tasks drop into your Inbox without a second thought about where they belong. Once a day, you empty it — into projects, or into the trash.
A record template pre-fills the structure — meeting notes, task briefs, client profiles. Set it up once, use it forever.

Select objects and let PowerPoint align and space them evenly. The difference between an amateur slide and a clean one.
View → Slide Master controls the look of the whole presentation from one place — fonts, colors, logos.
Ctrl+Shift+C
The format painter has a keyboard version — copy the look of one element and stamp it onto the next.
Ctrl+P
Quick search finds a page by title and by content. In a growing workspace, it's the only navigation that makes sense.
/
The / key opens the block menu — headings, tables, reminders, columns. Notion's core control.
The projector shows slides; on your laptop you see notes, a timer, and a preview of the next slide.
Shift+F5
F5 runs from the beginning, Shift+F5 from wherever you are. Priceless when you're fine-tuning a single slide.
B
Pressing B during a slideshow blacks out the screen — the audience turns to you. W does the same with white.
Ctrl+Shift+V
In Docs, Gmail, and most web apps, it pastes plain text without foreign fonts and colors.
Shift+F3
Caps Lock stuck on by accident? Select the text and Shift+F3 cycles between lowercase, Title Case, and UPPERCASE.
Data separated by commas or semicolons crammed into one column? The Text to Columns wizard splits it correctly.
Ctrl+Alt+V
Ctrl+Alt+V opens Paste Special — paste results without formulas, formats without content, or transpose a table.
