I have recently started using RSS feeds to get news and other information. It is quite time-saving.
Recently found out that word could open pdfs for edits. Used to upload pdfs to websites to get it converted into some editable format. I think Libreoffice can do the same.
Got that spinning type of mop and mopping has become a bit easier.

Customizing your keyboard. The biggest one is mapping capslock to control. How often do you use the former vs the latter? Try pressing ctrl+t vs capslock+t. Now think about how many new tabs you make in a day.

I also map right alt to escape, left ctrl to alt, and left alt to a third layer I use for global vimmy keys (e.g. hjkl)

What do you use to do this?

Depends on the OS. On windows, Powertoys. On linux, evremap and xkb. I also used to use xmodmap. But these days I have a Keychron with Qmk, so I can flash my config to firmware and it works everywhere
