I try to be aware of where I have friction in my day-to-day when working at my computer, keeping an eye out for TOIL to remove. Whether it’s from manually repeated actions, or from differing behaviors across apps and services I use. When I identify any of these I try to spend some small amount of time automating or changing how I work to improve.

All of these things don’t necessarily make a lot of sense from how much time I save, but, it also makes me happy to spend a bit of time improving my environment, and spending a bit of time to make me happy is good enough for me.
