Using Ctrl-r and fzf roughly doubled my efficiency in the shell overnight. Interestingly, it had an even greater long term effect: I became a more ambitious user of shell commands because I knew I could outsource my memory to fzf. For example, since it’s now very easy to recall past commands, I no longer set global environment variables, which had previously caused me grief when I forgot about them. Now I set environment variables on a per-command basis, knowing that I can recall them with Ctrl-r and fzf.
