I heavily rely on CLI tools rather than GUI/Web interface. AWS CLI is a great tool to manage AWS resources across different accounts, regions and environments.
I have published a curated list of frequent AWS commands that might come handy. Feel free to star it, fork it or send pull request.

Pro Tip!
If you have multiple AWS Accounts, you can use bash alias like the following. So you no longer need to pass --profile to aws tool.
alias aws-prod="aws --profile work-prod"
alias aws-dev="aws --profile work-dev"
alias aws-self="aws --profile personal"
alias aws="aws --profile work-dev"
To format aws command output into tables, you can pipe output to column -t.
