In addition to the other good advice - I would suggest opening your mind to possibilities.
For instance - say you're doing something repetitive and tedious in an AWS console, every day, and it's mostly the exact same task. Let's just say for the sake of argument you have to kick off some codebuild job every day at 8am first thing you go into work - so you log in, click through the UI, select account/region, find the job, etc. Takes you about 5 minutes.
But wait! The AWS CLI can do the same thing - write a simple script to do a repetitive task like that. Instead of spending 5 minutes every day, now you've got a script that you can run in 5 seconds or less, plus it could be possibly integrated into other automation.
Opening your mind to stuff like this will naturally get you to start using the terminal more often. I'd also suggest familiarizing yourself with a text editor like vim or emacs (or whatever flavor you prefer).
