I have added an undocumented option (--ical URL) to my script `mai3bar` that by default displays CPU, RAM and HDD usage alongside a wall time clock. When the `--ical` parameter is added, it detects whether there is an appointment within the same working day and counts down the minutes to it. Once the event is 15min away, it turns yellow and then red at 5min to go. This way, I can attend the events without having any distracting prior ”notifications”. Just occasionally glance the colors in the status bar... <https://masysma.net/32/i3bar.xhtml>.
Another productivity measure was to write down many of the “vector workflow” commands that I use to pre and postprocess various graphics, including making aliases for hard-to-remember syntax of commands (rsvg-convert ... -> svg2pdf here: <https://github.com/m7a/lp-conf-cli/blob/master/svg2pdf>). The vector graphics stuff is collected in a long, searchable document here: <https://masysma.net/37/vector_workflow.xhtml>.
My start page “Information and Links” helps me to quickly access the accurate and applicable documentation for some programming environments that I work with and allows keeping a list of links in the same UI <https://masysma.net/32/ial.xhtml>. Complete with VI-inspired key bindings :)
