When using the adjustment brush tool (red arrow no.1) in Lightroom, a usefulLightroom quick tip, the adjustment brush hold down the control(or Command) key at the same time and it will enable the auto mask feature (red arrow no.2)

- finger off the key and it goes back to the normal brush, much quicker than moving the pointer over to the panels area and scrolling every time

Why would you want to keep enabling and disabling auto mask?? When you have auto mask enabled in clear open areas of the image it can appear blotchy, it will also be slower as the auto mask feature uses considerably more computer “recourses”.
