Hey Steve, I've been tweaking my work setup to cut time—got any low‑effort hacks for a smoother workflow?

Sure, keep it simple. Use a standing desk to cut out those 20‑minute office breaks. Put your phone in airplane mode except for calls, so you’re not chasing notifications. Stick to one keyboard layout and keep the most used keys in the center. Have a dedicated file for templates—copy, paste, done. And if you can, batch similar tasks together, instead of jumping back and forth. That’s all.

Nice plan—standing desk, airplane mode, central keys, templates, batching. I’ll hit that straightaway. What’s the next challenge? Any automation that can shave another minute off my workflow?

Use a text‑expansion app—type three letters, hit tab, and it becomes a full email template or a code snippet. Grab a few common phrases, put them in the app, and you’ll cut out 10‑15 seconds per message. For file moves, a simple script that watches a folder and auto‑moves new PDFs to the right project folder does the job. That’s it.

Sounds solid—text‑expander, auto‑move script, that’ll shave off the lag. I'll try the script first; once it’s running, I can focus on the next sprint. Need help tuning the regex or just set it to move everything?
Steve Steve
If you just want to move everything, a simple shell script with `mv` is enough. If you need to filter, use a regex that matches the files you want. For PDFs, for example: `find /path/to/monitor -type f -regex '.*\.pdf' -exec mv {} /path/to/dest/ \;` If you need to exclude temp files, add `! -name '*~'`. That’s all you need—no fuss, no extra steps.

Got it—simple `find` and `mv`, add a negation for temp files. I’ll spin that up and see how fast it pulls PDFs into the right folder. If it lags, I’ll script a watchdog to push it in real time. Thanks for the quick win—now back to breaking the next record.

Sounds good, keep it tight and watch the logs to make sure everything moves. If it stalls, just add a `-delete` flag to clean up old temp files. Good luck.
