Update: I finally gave keyboard shortcuts a real try

I always skipped them thinking they were for experts, but after making myself learn, my work got much faster. Do you use shortcuts or click around?

Actually, the physical side of it gets overlooked. Sure you work faster, but it also just hurts less after a long day. My hands used to ache from all the clicking and dragging. Now they just kind of know where to go without me staring at the screen. It trades a little mental effort upfront for a lot of physical ease later.

Wait, your hands hurt that much just from clicking? That's wild. I guess I never paid attention, but my fingers cramp up after too much copy-pasting. Like when I'm formatting docs and dragging text for hours. So learning hotkeys actually stops the pain? That's a game changer. I'm gonna look up some shortcuts tonight.

Tbh the "hands used to ache" thing is so real. It weirdly reminds me of when I worked a register and my wrist would hurt from swiping cards all day. Just a different kind of repetitive strain I guess.
