      <p>If you want people to do things, you need to make them as simple as possible.</p>

      <p>If you need to need to switch to a different window or tab to run your tests, you'll be less likely to run them.</p>

      <p>I have keybindings in Neovim to run the current test, the previous test or the entire test file, which means I can easily run a test with a couple of key presses and without needing to change applications or to a different terminal.</p>

      <p>I do the same when working on presentation slides, and need to compile the reStructuredText document into a PDF <a href="/talks/building-presenting-slide-decks-rst2pdf">using rst2pdf</a>.</p>

      <p>I also use watchers with <code>entr</code> - commands that watch for changes, such as a file being saved, and running a command. This means I can also have my tests run automatically whenever I change a file.</p>

      <p>I have snippets to generate complex code or commands I need to run often, saving me time and reducing errors.</p>

      <p>The more frictionless and easy I can make running a task, the more likely I am and others are to do them.</p>
