I have a Autohot key script that does the following:
Auto correct on some works i mis-type regularly
shortcut for server names, all our sever are formatted PrefixNumber, shortkey #number types the full name
Allows ctrl-v into cmd window
Fills in my default fields in our ticketing system
I date any note I take in onenote, #d shortcuts to todays date
Signatures for emails, #tr for Thanks and Regards
+- for ±
#desk/#mobile for my phone numbers
ctrl-alt-m to open a new email from anywhere
I don't think they save a huge amount of time in general but the prevent breaking your flow to check the date, remember my phone number etc which I think is more important.

Small but they add up.
