Quick practical tip: "turtle your mouse". We all know we should probably learn more keyboard shortcuts to be more efficient, but it's hard to have the discipline to practice them when we're busy and the mouse is so easily accessible. My hack for this is to "turtle" my mouse: flip it upside down so it looks like a turtle on its back.

This introduces a tiny bit more effort to using the mouse - you have to flip it over first. I find adding that little bit of resistance makes me much more likely to learn keyboard shortcuts, which in turn make me more efficient overall.
