Alt + tab to switch between windows.

Also a thing I just discovered yesterday -
Settings > about > clipboard
In here you can enable a setting so that windows remembers all your copy and pastes then you can recall the list by pressing windows + v

Love me keyboard shortcuts. I try to research them and commit them to memory for every program I use frequently.


For Firefox:

Ctrl+Page Down	Opens the tab to the right of current tab
Ctrl+Page Up	Tab to the left
Ctrl+Shift+Page Up	Shifts the current tab position to the left
Ctrl+L	Selects the URL bar
Ctrk+B	Opens bookmarks sidebar
Ctrl+D	Bookmarks current page
Ctrl+H	History sidebar
Ctrl+T	New tab

Moving the tabs around with shortcuts is really helpful, lets me switch between related tabs faster by moving them together.

Even websites have keyboard shortcuts you can learn to make you better at navigation. Discord has a cool function you can use by pressing Ctrl+K, which opens up a search where you can type the specific channel you want to move to from all the groups you're in. Great for quickly switching from private conversations to channels and vice versa.

Twitter has some great ones too, when you're on any feed you can press J to navigate by tweet down the feed list, one by one. While a tweet is selected you can press L to like it, or R to open the reply dialogue. After you've written this reply you can press Ctrl+Enter to submit it. Liking and replying to a tweet without even touching the mouse once!

Even this BHW post editor I'm writing in has a shortcut, I'm going to submit this post by pressing Ctrl+Enter, rather than pushing the "Post reply" button

1. Drink coffee.
2. Get a notepad.
3. Take a water in bottle.
4. Go to gym.
5. Make notes outside.
6. You just saved yourself an hour of pointless screen time and won a little muscle.

I used windows + l before leaving house.

I don't know what stuff is still done manually

A big hack is to use windows and Mac instead of Linux. Mac is the best system for automation marketers but windows comes useful too . Avoid linux If you want to look like a human.

Click F2 to edit a filename of file once you single click on it.

And and take a shower. It boost my productivity 200%.
