What are your most used actions/keybinds?

One of the largest hurdles for me, when learning a new tool like org mode, is that it comes with a million knobs, they are all immediately available, and the manual doesn't teach any kind of priority. Surely some of them are going to be used every day, multiple times per hour, while other functions might only be needed less than once per day.

So, what's yours? Top 10 without explanation, or just mention 1 and explain why you find it so useful.

For me, the ones that I have found recently and added to keybinds:

promote heading, demote heading, turn bullet into heading, turn heading into bullet, moving by heading (I bound it to [/] for ease), cycling the folds for the entire tree (S-tab), and most recently the narrow-subtree (and widen counterpart) keybind, removing everything else from the view really makes it feel like unlocking a new kind of focus, it's a little thing but feels huge.

Just now I discovered m-x org-info, so I will be going through that to discover more actions, but feel free to share your favorite finds!
