Script

At Sublime HQ in Sydney, 2014, engineers clocked 18 lost minutes each day just hunting through drop-down menus. They pinpointed their ten most frequent actions-like toggling comments or duplicating lines-and wrote each shortcut on a sticky note above their monitor. Each morning started with a five-minute drill, cycling through those shortcuts until muscle memory took over. Within a week, the menu clicks had dropped by half, and those 18 minutes reappeared-as a solid half hour gained by Friday.

Caption

Sublime Text engineers once timed their most-used actions and found that hunting menus took 18 minutes out of a workday. This video shows how they used a daily 5-minute keyboard shortcut drill to win those minutes back. See exactly what steps to follow-and how to practice-so your day runs faster without new software or habits.
