CHRONOLOGY of most used option strategies by me over the years:

Initially had the belief that can play volatility both sides
2010: Strangle, Straddle
Used to convert positional strangles to straddles near expiries
2011: Calendar Spreads, Straddle

2016: Ratios, Diagonal Spreads
2017: Gut spreads (inverted strangle), Diagonal Spreads, Straddle
Gut spreads because of added STT advantage that time over normal strangle. Also started with Banknifty weekly.
2018: Gut spreads, Butterfly, Ratios
2019: Ratios, Ironfly, Straddle

2018: Gut spreads, Butterfly, Ratios
2019: Ratios, Ironfly, Straddle
2020: Ratios, Directional spreads, Ironfly
2021: Ratios, Directional Spreads, Naked options
Apart from last 2 years, have been majorly a neutral option seller. The strategies have remained same but the adjustment skills improved. Also introduction of weekly was a game changer.

Calandar/Diagonal Spreads were used a lot initially because there weren't many liquid instruments like at present with nf & bnf weeklies.
Adjusted Short Straddle has been a constant near expiry apart from post covid volatility rise. Ratios have been more common since last 6 yrs.

Also strategies had there own versions which I haven't mentioned like broken butterfly, double Diagonal, triple straddle, ladder, iron condor etc.
PS: I barely knew the names of the strategies. It's only in recent years that i became more learned of official names.
