Always paste without formatting on macOS Creating a custom keyboard
shortcut to "paste and match style" in the macOS settings App
Shortcuts menu.

When copying and pasting on a Mac, most applications will retain the
formatting of whatever you copied. If that bugs you as much as it
bugs me, try this trick to switch up the default to pasting
unformatted text. Or more accurately, having the pasted text ignore
its own formatting and match the text where it's pasted.

 1. Open the System Settings app.
 2. Search for "Keyboard shortcuts" or navigate to Keyboard >
    Shortcuts > App Shortcuts
 3. Add a new shortcut
 4. Choose All Applications for the Application, and type Paste and
    Match Style. Enter [?]V for the Keyboard Shortcut. Click Add.

Hello Hacker News! As some people have pointed out, this tip does not
work in every app, if it doesn't have a "Paste and Match Style" menu
option. Check out the discussion on Hacker News for some other ideas.

Before macOS Ventura, use these steps:

 1. Open the System Preferences app.
 2. Go to Keyboard > Shortcuts.
 3. Click on App Shortcuts.
 4. Add a new shortcut.
 5. Choose All Applications for the Application, and type Paste and
    Match Style. Enter [?]V for the Keyboard Shortcut. Click Add.

Next time you copy/paste, the copied text will fit in with the style
of wherever it's pasted. Cool.

Buying time

The concept of "buying time" is a communication skill, used when you
need to prioritize something other than the person you are currently
working with.
