If you have to do it once, fine. Some work needs to be done.
If you have to do it twice, think it over a bit.
If you have to do it a third time, automate it.
I am lazy enough that I have aliases setup to change to directories I frequently use. I know people who have gone far beyond anything I have done and looking over their shoulder when they are at the shell will show a highly custom environment with dozens of custom scripts that automate all sorts of multi-step commands.
I even know a few people who have used most of the alphabet to create single letter scripts. That is efficient!
