Or any skill that you deeply value for how it helps you, but maybe easily overlooked by an outsider?

I think exercising atleast 2-3 times a week was good for me. Not that I look much different, but I do feel a bit stronger and that is nice. Neck isometrics and bridges too. They really helped with balancing looking at mobile or PC screens.

Learning some keyboard shortcuts was nice. The major one would be Win key + Arrow keys to manage multiple open windows/apps.
Then, finding that I can add commonly used options to the QuickAccess bar in Excel, Word etc. Libreoffice would probably have similar options too.

    Making my phone’s home screen functional. Calendar widget on the left, notes widget on the right, 3 rows of frequently-used apps on the bottom.

    Went from having no calendar nor a quick place to jot notes, to having a severely overengineered planner with built-in notes that I didn’t actually use and didn’t fit in my pockets, to now finally having my day organized and my mind clear.

    Also centralizing my random notes into a single ~/Documents/quicknotes plain text document for each of my machines with a taskbar shortcut pointing to it.
