Just discovered the doc.new shortcut, and it’s lifechanging. 

All you do? Go to Chrome, and type in “doc.new” into the address bar, and poof – here you are, with a brand new Google Document.

Why do I even know this? Because I use Google documents every day, and I like to make things just a little easier for myself so I don’t get the excuse of saying that I didn’t do things because they were too cumbersome or too difficult. 


Here, I was trying to get a shortcut to create a new document and I was looking for the easiest possible way to do it – a way of enabling me to do things more easily, in more refined a fashion, in more simple a way to make things happen and develop.

Docs.new is one of the most elegant things I’ve discovered this entire year, and it’s a shock that that realization came in nothing more than a single search for the shortcut and a single phrase typed into a keyboard.

It makes me wonder how many other instances of this exist out there in our strange universe.
