The Sleep Command is Great

Using a command-line interface allows all manner of expression that clicking a list of buttons could never achieve. But for all the nice tools in bash, the one I use most often to make my life easier is just sleep.

Want to shut down the computer and leave, but don't want to shut off the music just yet?

sleep 5m; sudo shutdown -h now

Want to download a film, but can't lose the bandwidth right now?

sleep 5h && yt-dlp 'https://archive.org/details/sedermasochism/' && exit

Need to email someone in 10 minutes?

sleep 10m; notify-send Email person &

Getting to know the terminal has all been worth the hassle, simply for the sleep command.
