Testing a spreadsheet, a form, or a mailing? Have AI generate fifty fictional rows with names and amounts instead of copying real data.
Describe in plain words what you want to match, and AI returns a regular expression with a part-by-part explanation and test cases. For Sheets, editors, and bulk edits.

A guide with prompts: installation, the first half hour, five typical tasks from folder cleanup to reports, and safety rules. It's how this site is made.
Shift+End
Shift + End selects text from the cursor to the end of the line, Shift + Home to the start. No dragging with the mouse.
mouse wheel
Clicking the wheel opens a link in a new tab and closes a tab without hunting for the little X.
Lights, do-not-disturb, a timer, and music with a single command. A ritual that tells your brain “it's work time now.”
The trick isn't standing all day — it's alternating positions, plus a bit of movement that fits into your work without interrupting it.
ANC headphones solve two problems at once: ambient noise, and coworkers who can't tell you don't want to be disturbed.
A neck that hurts from a monitor set too low. A stand or arm for a few dollars fixes years of discomfort.
Monitor, keyboard, network, charging — all through a single USB-C cable. Connecting your laptop stops being a five-minute ritual.
“Fix bug” tells you nothing six months later. One sentence about the reason for a change saves an hour of git blame archaeology.
Long commands, build sequences, switching environments — all of it belongs in aliases and scripts. Ten characters instead of eighty.
Ctrl+D
Ctrl+D in VS Code selects the next occurrence of a word — and you type in all of them at once. Small refactors without find and replace.
Coding needs 2+ uninterrupted hours — one meeting in the middle kills the whole morning. Protect your blocks as a team.

A complete guide with prompts: three levels of assistance and when to use each, tests and refactoring, unfamiliar codebases, and agent-mode guardrails.
Ctrl+K
VS Code, Figma, Slack, Notion, browsers — they all open a “jump to anything” box. Learn it once and use it in every app you touch daily.
Ctrl+P
Ctrl+P finds every command — switching modes, inserting a template, exporting. No need to memorize shortcuts.
Double square brackets create a link to another note — and backlinks show you where it's referenced from.
One place where you dump notes, ideas, and links all day long. Sort it out in the evening — or don't; search will still find it.
