ctrl-l is a faster clear. I don't use it often, but I do use it.

bad habit which annoys me to see: needlessly cd into a dir when you could tab complete a command for actions on files in that dir.

My bad habit: relying on shell history instead of saving aliases and scripts. I'll write a 300+ character chain of shell commands and not save it anywhere, just ctrl-r to find it in my history... until its a year later and I wonder wtf I did with it.
