My Home About Me

An interesting lifehack I came across is Reginald Dutton's Speedwords shorthand system. It's based on Zipf's Law, which says that the most common words are relatively few. These are assigned 1- or 2-letter combinations, like the following:

b - but
p - can, be able to
v - you
z - as, than, compared to
zi - because
hab - ordinary
vo - willing

I've put together a 1-page cheatsheet of common Speedwords, as identifed in the delightful book Mind Performance Hacks.
