A few LR tips:
Delete old backups. They take up space and you really only need the last one that was run.
Create a workflow that becomes second nature to you. Mine for example is:
1. Import & tag based on place or purpose.
2. Review photos and flag photos to delete, single star for good photos.
3. Delete all flagged photos.
4. Edit a photo using presets + modifications. Lens correction, auto straightening, etc.
5. Save as a new preset.
6. Go through other starred photos and apply that preset to ones from the same scene, lighting similarities, etc. Adjust settings as warranted.
7. Other edits / fixes as needed: spot correction, etc.
8. Label every edited photo green. This tells me it's been edited.
9. When done with all individual photo edits, filter view to green labels only.
10. Decide which ones I really like, change label go purple.
11. Review purple labels and narrow down to top 10-12 and label blue.
12. Blue labels go on website, Flickr, IG, other sites. Sometimes I will put the remaining purple "seconds" on Flickr.
13. Have all the export presets you need for different reasons. I've got them for website cover photos (1600px wide) website posts (1000px wide) desktops (2560px) FB, and ones for print purposes.This is what I do every single time I'm working on something.
