What is a favorite tip, trick or hack that your Pro self would share with your former ArcMap self?

Question

ArcGIS Pro users!

If your primary GIS tool used to be ArcMap and you are either transitioning to ArcGIS Pro now or have fully moved all of your work into Pro, what is a favorite tip, trick or hack that your Pro self would share with your former ArcMap self?

Do not "transition" in the sense of gradually moving over to Pro, using both products for a long period of time. Just make a hard cut.

Finish your current almost finished projects in Map. Rebuild everything else in Pro and don't switch back and forth. This forces you to learn how to do your work with Pro, as opposed to saying "I don't know how to do it in Pro, I'll just fire up Map and do it there".

When my IT department finally installed Pro 2 years or so ago, I had them uninstall Map 3 months later, because I just didn't use it anymore. My colleague is very comfortable with Map and always falls back on using it if she has a problem in Pro. Understandable, but because of that she can only do basic mapping in Pro...
