I personally find that, after \l (list databases), connecting to a different
one with \c is pretty useful.

\? : to list help subjects
\? options
\? variables
\h 

\watch [SEC] : is helpful, for example for keeping an eye on connections via 
pg_stat_activity

\e | \ef | \ev : is incredibly helpful if you are working on a query, function 
or view which you immediately want to load into the database via the query 
buffer (setting the EDITOR env will help). Best done in production, of course.

\set ON_ERROR_STOP on : to abort on first error

\timing on : very helpful to see how fast or slowly your function or query runs

Perhaps some example pg_stat_activity calls might be worth list, eg:

    SELECT pid, age(clock_timestamp(), query_start), usename, query
    FROM pg_stat_activity
    WHERE query != '<IDLE>' AND query NOT ILIKE '%pg_stat_activity%'
    ORDER BY query_start desc;
