Do you find that your file storage system works well for you? I have always just imported into Lightroom in the traditional hierarchy where everything is organized by year, then month, then day.
Ask me again in a few months as it's still a work in progress. I keep two main files one private and one commercial. I tend to use categories on the private side. On the commercial side I use Year as the first folder > Project Name > then additional folders as needed. Using the three numbered sub folders under the final folder keeps them in the correct order. The contents of all three are visible in the top folder, but if I want to only see my PSD files I can click on the 2nd sub folder and only see PSD files, click on finished subfolder and only finished JPEGS are shown. Drilling down on a search is easier also.
have never found any personal success in applying a preset to all photos to then make the selection from there. I think that your success with that must be a testament to your consistency in shooting. I'm guessing all of the adjustments must be quite subtle,
I have certain camera/shot specific presets that apply certain basic settings that I've learned I generally use anyhow, so it's easier and quicker to do it at import. As to consistency I try, though don't always succeed.
