Well, most of my tricks and tips I put in my various tutorials, but one thing I do when organizing clips into collections before editing is I set my event browser to
No Ratings or Keywords (CTRL+X). That way, when I assign a clip to a keyword collection, it disappears from my event browser. I keep organizing until all my clips are gone. That's when I know that everything is properly organized and I switch back to
Hide Rejected or
All Clips.
Also, I remapped all my play keys, IN/OUT keys, Insert/Overwrite/Connected and Tops/Tails keys to the the 9-key num pad. It's great for stringouts and rough cutting. I barely use a mouse.
