One thing I really like doing, is commenting my bash commands. Its not an obvious thing, but it really helps ..
$ some_cmd | another_cmd -d doing -some complex -thing # somecmd to do something complex
Some time later, I don't have to remember the long string of commands - just the comment .. CTRL-R "somecmd" .. and I'm back again!
Another small personal hack that has had a big impact, is that I print-to-PDF any web page I find interesting, instead of bookmarking it. I have done this since 1999 and now have over 70,000 PDF's of everything interesting I've ever read online, safely in a local cache of readable PDF's for offline use.
The next big life hack will be to put myself on a boat in the middle of a vast ocean with 70,000 PDF's to read .. joking aside, its also pretty interesting to harvest this data and see what my interests have been over the years, and see the bread-crumb trails of sites I've visited related to those interests .. kind of like having my own personal Internet ..
