My email 'tag' line at work reads:

"It takes less time to take the time, to do it right the first time, than it takes to fix it the second time."

I like to work 'smarter'; not 'harder'.

Aliases are, for some, a not known/under-utilized 'tool' that makes life simpler, allowing you to work smarter.
