• set a good tty font (it’s almost all you’re gonna see)
• be comfy with basic core utils (mv, cp, chmod, …)
• choose a shell (bash, fish, …) and set up some useful aliases/abbreviations
• fzf or something similar does wonders (also replaces things like dmenu)
• terminal multiplexers are used instead of window managers
• some applications allow you to do some graphics (like mpv to play video)
• there is more advanced stuff you can do with frame buffers
• there are terminal browsers like w3m or lynx
• a good extensible text editor is essential (vim, nvim, emacs, helix, …)
• research some cli applications for your usecase (cal (calendar), neomutt (email), …)

Over time your collection of aliases and scripts will grow to make common tasks you do easier.
