Never really do a old school shutdown, I think I’d rather off (naively) simply power the machine down

#9For work it's
1. press power button
2. Ctrl + Alt + T, to open a terminal
3. . ./start_{project_name}, to execute a script setting environment variables and starting programs
Each day it saves me a few seconds and the start scripts also serve as documentation.

#10On main personal PC:
It won't do Modern Standby properly, so it always kinda hibernates, ergo: Press Power button, make a coffee, wiggle mouse and click things once desktop appears so I know it's finally responsive. To shut down I just ignore it like the naughty boy it is until it sulks, tries to sleep, and finally falls into hibernation.
Gaming/VR PC:
Modern Standby works perfectly. Press power button, instantly awake, ready to go. Also leave it to sleep when I'm done.
Work PC:
It's a Surface Pro 7, as such it has a mind of its own. I approach it cautiously so as not to startle it, and treat it gently so it doesn't reboot when I click on stuff too fast.
In case it's not brutally obvious, these are Windows 10 PCs
