I like to be efficient, so I make a habit of installing an admin menu module on every site I build.
These modules add a menu with all the administrative tasks for creating content, managing users, and configuring every aspect of the site, saving me time and clicks as I move around in Drupal setting things up.
For Drupal 8, I use Admin Toolbar:
For Drupal 7 sites, I use Administration Menu.
Zipping around the administration menus lets me complete tasks faster, which makes my clients happy, and I love making my clients happy.
