I have
ctrl+sas a unavoidable muscle memory.Mine is ctrl+shift+s, because it saves an incremental version. This way, if the client says "Actually I preferred the bassline an hour ago, can we go back?" I can say "sure, no problem!".
It also protects in case the file is corrupted. I know so many people who just save over the same file and it always amazes me.
I save a hundred times every 5 min. I never thought about creating 100 different files for it.
Whatever app you're using, check the shortcuts list and see if there's one for incremental save... it may just save you from losing many hours of work one day! Once your brain gets over the hump of adjusting the ctrl+s reflex, of course :)
Once after a particularly long and gruelling session, I tried to ctrl+shift+s a film I was watching haha.
