Here's my cool tip:
Delete your .emacs!
This means that you can go to a new machine, run Emacs on it, and it
works just the same as on your old machine! No more confusion over
non-default keybindings, unusual settings for variables, bizarre mode
hooks, etc. And when you find a problem you know it's really to do with
Emacs and not with some "cool" trick you copied out of someone else's
.emacs without understanding it.
