Ask HN: Life Shortcuts

1 points by ManOfLand 4 years ago | 1 comment

The best ROI I find in programming, or dealing with computers in general, lies in learning shortcuts.

Ctrl-V Ctrl-C takes a couple seconds to learn, and saves you hours or days of clicking around, copying, and then pasting. Same with learning emacs or vim.

Learn them once and you're set for life.

What are some of the best ROIS in life, aside from the obvious (learning personal finance, working out and nutrition, or basic arithmetic) ?

Something I have in mind is learning to dance, for instance. It'll take you a couple of hours to get the basics down, and give back lots of fun in parties.
