What are some things(or ways) that you use to save time or get things done efficiently? Especially things that would be useful for many and are currently less popular. (lemmy.sdf.org)

I have recently started using RSS feeds to get news and other information. It is quite time-saving.
Recently found out that word could open pdfs for edits. Used to upload pdfs to websites to get it converted into some editable format. I think Libreoffice can do the same.

It’s hard to explain in words. I quickly searched for a video about it and this one shows the basics pretty good: https://youtu.be/w3JCjsIOMdM?si=-dS-m940AGHFgCG-

Sublime Text is a bit more powerful in that regard (and also more performant with very large files) which is why I still keep it installed even though I switched to VSCode long time ago. I guess Vim can do even more but I can’t get myself to learn it well.
