One belief I have is that a major lifehack in a digital world is making things as physical as possible.

Spend all day at a computer? Get a mechanical keyboard so every keystroke is satisfying.

Learn keyboard shortcuts so you're on the mouse less.

Find yourself frequently turning something on/off via your phone? Get a physical button and map it -- e.g. physical volume knob

Gotta mock something up or understand a codebase? Physical draw it in a notebook

Got a dense book to read? Buy the print copy and go somewhere without a phone

Obviously costs more money and space, but anything I can offload to a 'spatial' part of my brain is welcome these days
