Are you saying that in your sleep by now? ;-)
I have been known to wake up at 3am and not be able to fall back asleep, so I'll answer some forum questions, or get on the company Slack service, or play a mind numbing game, or read an ebook (this is the worse, as it seems there is always an exciting conclusion that keeps me up until dawn 😁 ).
I have the Apple Watch oval button picture (I stole from Dev•veed) in my iPhone Photos, so I can quickly add it. I have the frequently used URL's in iPhone -> Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Text Replacement. Generally with a trigger, such as ,wfb for Apple Watch Feedback, and ,control for the Control Center URL, and ,carrier for the list of Apple Watch carriers, etc... Text Replacement has streamlined my forum participation. I find that a leading comma on the trigger phrase avoids accidental triggers.
If I share stuff through my Apple ID, then the Text Replacements migrate to all my devices, so I have the same text replacements available on all my Macs, and my iPhone. I have some very long (up to 2,000 character) text replacements that I compose in TextEdit, then copy and paste into the Text Replacement field. They are then available to me on my iPhone.
And if I typing on the Mac, I use Control-Command-Space to bring up the Emoji list.
