Tool Proficiency

I've long been of the opinion that it can be immensely fruitful to work towards being a virtuoso of your development environment.

The more effectively you can drive the environment, the faster you're going to get the job done - and the more time you can spend on thinking.

The Keybinding posters for Visual studio are one good place to start.

Download the relevant poster, print it out, and start learning the keystrokes to become more effective. Set yourself a target - learn a new one each week, make it part of your natural vocabulary.
