Default Top 5 Time Waster

What are your top 5 time wasters that you do during a turn of dominions 3? They should be things that require no decision making and are purely routine. I'd love to hear from people.

1. Checking each remote site searching casting, and then looking up the province if there's a hit with F1.

2. Setting a group of commanders to recast the same ritual spells that they were last round. This happens a lot when I'm ritual casting cheap summons (vine ogres) or

3. Constantly toggling the research function to maximize my research output. This gets really, really bad when you're trying to research 3-4 things at a time. The research bar desperately needs a "lock" function, and the ability to type in points.

4. Setting new commanders to research.

5. Shuttling around freshly recruited troops.

The first three have easy fixes. 1. Change the "goto" from the commander casting the spell, to the province it was cast on. 2. Calculate gem income before deciding if a mage has enough gems to recast a spell. 3. Add some simple controls.
