Llama Life, issue #9
Hey friends 👋
Welcome back to Llama Life, a newsletter where we share bite-sized productivity tips and the occasional ‘Llama’ news.
Let’s get to it!
Bite-sized productivity tips
📝 Ever get frustrated when copy/pasting text and the formatting gets messed up?
If you work in Google’s suite of productivity tools eg Sheets, Docs, Slides, then this shortcut is for you.
Instead of Ctrl-V to paste, hit Ctrl-Shift-V to paste without formatting (or Cmd-Shift-V on Mac).
This will paste in plain text so will match the formatting of the destination.
📂 Speaking of Google’s productivity suite…
You can create a new document simply by typing docs.new directly into your browser address bar.
And a new spreadsheet with sheets.new and a new presentation with slides.new.
🔗 A quick way to add hyperlinks to text
If you’re in an email or any ‘office’ software, simply highlight the text you want to add the link to and hit ‘Ctrl-K’ (Cmd-K on Mac).
You’ll then be prompted to add the URL.
Llama news
Llama is a fun, flexible task manager 🎉.
🛠 Small tweak: Last week I added soundscapes to help drown out background noise eg wind, forest sounds. Have now added a toggle for this in Settings in case you’d like to turn them off completely.
