![]() We know from lots of research that tech tools and data samples can be accidentally biased, sexist, and more. That way I’m not typing a bunch of hashtags in with each post.įinally, and I love this last example, but you can use it to create some pro-feminist and equality built in. Then, I took a cluster of hashtags and created a shortkey for them, like this: #MSKP = this will expand to create all of my #MorningsWithSKP hashtags (there are about 20 of them). ![]() ![]() A while ago I did research on the most popular and relevant hashtags for my various posts, and grouped them by theme (postpartum, fitness, food, motherhood, and mornings, for example). Let me know if any of the times work for you! Īnother creative example is creating hashtag bundle expanders for Instagram. ooo = We’re out of the office right now and replies are delayed. For example, I use it to create short answers to common emails: nfit = Thanks for much for thinking of me! That’s not the right fit for us right now, but really appreciate you thinking of us. The part that’s really helpful is when you think even more creatively about how to use text expander. Think: someone asks you on messenger what your email is, and how to schedule…yada yada yada.

Text Expander: new secrets you didn’t know you could use that already exist on your computer This one is Apple-based, I believe, but there are tons of Pomodoro timers for all sorts of devices. My friends over at The Sweet Setup did a whole deep dive on Pomodoro apps, and I highly recommend it. That way, if I’m doing a journaling task not at my normal desk, I can still use the timers to track my time. There is a free version, but I prefer the pro version ($4.99) because you can create an account, set up custom tasks, get a spreadsheet of your time spent on projects, and sync to your phone as well. Knowing what you’re working on, how long it takes, and having a small timer to keep you accountable is genius. Because honestly, much of our frustrations at work can come from poor project planning, unclear scope, and miscommunications about deliverables and deadlines. The awareness gains of seeing how I “spent” eight sessions of blocked work time was really critical to getting better at estimating my future time and output. One of the best first things I did was simply track each session and what got done. Specifically, and I’ve tried a bunch of them, I like Be Focused (Pro).
