On auto save: on small files auto save can be a good idea, as long as it is easy to jump through revisions.

I'd recommend https://www.typingclub.com/ for specifically learning touch typing with finger placement etc.

or https://www.keybr.com/ to focus on words containing keys I struggle with.

I found with the few 'public speaking' presentations I did during school, writing down what I was going to say made me more diligent about information/points to bring forward and what phrasing to use. I suspect all this time spent on one specific thing greatly helped commit the topic to memory and by the time of presentation I didn't need to rely on prompts to get my point across.

I have a lot of repetition in my job (CAD modeller). Even just knowing keyboard shortcuts & setting up shortcuts for frequently used operations can easily net me 5 seconds per operation. I want to spend my energy on solving the task at hand, not on how to use the tool in the moment. I don't want to move the mouse away from the work area if I can help it.

Maybe not as frequent 5 per day - but scripts for really bottom of the barrel stuff:

  • Cycle thru all currently open drawing documents, zoom to full page and force save.
    • zoom out ensures drawing can be identified from document thumbnail.
    • the software is known to crash, especially editing drawings.
    • easy 10mins duplicated work saved.
  • Printing all open drawings out to the office printer in order with a delay between them, so i don't spend the next 20 minutes manually sorting the drawing prints.
    • printers don't always print in incoming order, some documents take longer to process.
  • find/replace for text notes
    • the software doesn't have that feature.

I'll do it for things that don't seem like it will save much, but because it was such an infrequent task I would forget how all the cogs worked when it needed to be done again, and what pitfalls to avoid. So it's not just direct time saved, but also increasing reliability.

Excellent, have been watching this.

Warning from the release:

Beware of any new fake versions of Mihon or Tachiyomi.
