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?
