Win+←
Dragging windows with the mouse is slow. Win + arrows snap windows into halves and quarters of the screen.
Win+1

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.
Win+P
Plugged in a projector and no picture shows up? Win + P switches multi-monitor modes instantly.
Win+L
The fastest security habit there is. One keypress and nobody can see what you're working on.
mouse wheel
Clicking the wheel opens a link in a new tab and closes a tab without hunting for the little X.
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.

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.
