This is why I like GUIs. Seeing the files that are modified in my git gui reminds me of what Im doing instead of running git status. And seeing all the available things I could do is more stimulating than having to keep coming up with the text commands to type.
For that I use Git Cola[1], it is quite nice.

Come to think of it, I would probably benefit from rate-limiting myself on `git status`.
