Here’s a lesson I learned from my early days as an animation student:

That extra 6 seconds it takes you to complete some annoying task adds up. Six extra seconds to click through an extra folder repeated 10 times a day turn into a full minute.

Not a big deal you think?

In two months… you’ve wasted an ENTIRE HOUR going through some stupid folder.

And that, my friends, is letting the computer use you. Not you using the computer.

This article doesn’t deal with 6-second folder structure stuff. Each of these tools and strategies will save you at least 15 minutes in typing, communication, miscommunication, and more.

Let’s get up to #poweruser level.

P.S If you’re a techie on Linux, some of these might be annoying for you to install. But you knew that when you installed Linux ;)

P.P.S Scroll down to the bottom for links to all the tools.

#1: Communicate with your team using Loom

TLDR: Don’t use live meetings where video recordings can suffice.
