Win+←
Dragging windows with the mouse is slow. Win + arrows snap windows into halves and quarters of the screen.
Ctrl+Backspace
Ctrl + Backspace deletes the whole word to the left, Ctrl + Delete the whole word to the right. Typos disappear in one go.
Alt+Tab
The most famous shortcut, and most people only use half of it. Hold Alt and cycle through.
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.
Ctrl+Shift+K
Ctrl+Shift+K and the article is in your library, tags included. No more bookmarks you'll never find again.
The reMarkable and its peers have no notifications, no browser, no social networks. Just you and your notes — which digitize themselves.
A sunrise alarm clock and smart bulbs set your circadian rhythm better than willpower ever could.
ANC headphones solve two problems at once: ambient noise, and coworkers who can't tell you don't want to be disturbed.
A mechanical kitchen timer or a TimeFlip cube. Visible, tangible — and it doesn't tempt you to pick up your phone.
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.
Not a list of twenty items, but three things that absolutely must get done today. Everything else is a bonus.
The same amount of time spread over more days means you remember multiples more. Your calendar is the strongest study tool you have.
Studying in short blocks with breaks holds your attention longer than heroic three-hour marathons. And starting is easier — it's just 25 minutes.
Submit by your own D−2 deadline. You get a buffer for review, printer trouble, illness — and a calm night's sleep.
Re-reading your notes creates an illusion of knowledge. Closing the book and trying to recall the material from memory — that's learning that sticks.
Calendar, tasks, and weather on your home screen mean you open your phone, glance, and close it — instead of a tour through your apps.
Big phones have one-handed typing modes — a compressed keyboard and pulling the screen down within thumb's reach.
Instapaper, Pocket, or bookmarks: save an article in a second and read it later in peace, without twenty tabs open on your phone.
Your Quick Settings panel can have exactly what you use — flashlight, screen recording, QR scanner. And in the order you want.
Grayscale turns your phone into a tool instead of a dopamine machine. Ideal for focus blocks.
Social media and entertainment off the home screen — leaving calendar, tasks, notes. What you don't see, you don't open without thinking.
iOS and Android can both lock an app once you've hit your daily limit. Extra friction that actually works.
