Productivity Tips & Tricks

Some may be bit out of topic but here's some of mine:

• A good password manager is awesome. Highly recommend 1Password.
• Also love Pycharm/Webstorm/Intellisense. It's like programming with buddy next to you helping you avoiding mistakes.
• Turning off Slack/Skype/phone.
• Learn a scripting language well and automate even smaller tasks quickly. Powershell for Windows is unbeatable, Python is pretty nice too.
• Keep the inbox empty with rules (even better, stop unnecessary mails from being sent).
• If you can do something in under 5 minutes, do it, otherwise log it in Jira (or whatever ticket system you use).
• Learn Javascript and Tampermonkey. Can enhance any site/webapp.
• Communicate via video/screensharing when helping people instead of sending long emails.
• Teach frequent customers how to help themselves and/or provide tools which enables them to do so.
