By word count, this will be one of my shorter columns.
That’s because I’ve wanted to write about shortcuts for some time.
First though, I would like to officially concede in the race for mayor of New York City. I wish the future Mayor Adams, Wiley, or Garcia best of luck in the city’s second-most-stressful job (the first, of course, is Jacob deGrom’s doctor).
On to this week’s edition…
One of my favorite time-saving tricks is using text replacement shortcuts on iOS and the PC. It’s built into iOS (Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement). For Windows, I wish it was built in, but I use TextExpander, a paid service.
A challenge of maintaining both is that I have to duplicate effort to be efficient, and I have to make sure the same shortcuts work across devices.
Usually, it’s worth it.
In case you haven’t done this much and want to give it a try, here are a handful of shortcuts I use and the words they replace. Note that most start with some kind of special character that is still relatively quick to access.
Personal info
;db: my full name
##: my phone number
@@: my Gmail address
d@s: my david@serialmarketer email address.
;159: it’s the start of my street address, so this makes it appear in full
;bio: my longest block of text saved as a shortcut, this includes my 100-word bio
Phrases
;hyd: How are you doing?
;hhl: “Hold your horses, Leo”; it comes in handy more often than you might think
Social Handles
;li: https://www.linkedin.com/in/
;tw: https://www.twitter.com/
Meeting planning
;cal: goes to my Calendly page (I use this shortcut more than almost any other)
;15m, ;30m, ;60m: my 15-minute, 30-minute, and 60-minute Calendly links (but I always just send people to the generic one and let them decide for themselves)
;zoom: goes to my Zoom room (and no, I don’t need to share that one widely)
;guests: a private Google doc that I use for booking speakers
Websites
One of the most practical uses for shortcuts is to make it faster to enter and share website URLs. Some examples:
;sms: community – https://www.serialmarketers.
;se: my main site – http://www.serialmarketer.net
;sub: subscribe to the newsletter – https://serialmarketer.net/
;ev: event listings – https://serialmarketers.net/
;fav: recommendations for marketers – https://www.marketerfaves.com
;help: my spreadsheet of resources – http://bit.ly/howdavidcanhelp
;faq: my community FAQ page – https://www.notion.so/Serial-
;cmo: $CMO coin – https://rally.io/creator/CMO/
;lc: my customized referral URL to Lunchclub (I had totally forgotten I created this shortcut) –
https://lunchclub.com/?invite_
Short (sort of) and sweet (sort of). Have your own favorite time-saving tips? Send them my way. I’ll send my thanks and 10 $CMO coins to any I use (with attribution) in a future edition.
