It's not a bash tip, but if you want something that generally makes command line navigation easier without the need for heavy amounts of customization or memorization, you might consider using the Friendly interactive shell (Fish shell). Smart history-based autocompletion, advanced tab completion, optional cd, simplified syntax, among other features. Not as hackerish as some of the other tips mentioned here, but it's a much lower barrier to entry than the other commonly used shells out there.
