\begin{quote}
A workflow consists of an orchestrated and repeatable pattern of
activity, enabled by the systematic organization of resources into
processes that transform materials, provide services, or process
information.

\begin{itemize}
\item Repeatable pattern
\item Systematic organization
\item Transformation processes

\begin{frame}[<+->]{Why do I need a workflow?}
%\pause
\begin{itemize}
\item It boosts productivity
\item It reduces mental load
\item A truly optimized workflow will:
\begin{itemize}
\item Identify and remove unnecessary steps and processes that lead to slowdowns
\item Provide a sequential (chronological) order for accomplishing tasks
\item Automate some decisions and processes (freeing up time)
\item Reduce communication burdens (fewer e-mails, meetings, etc.)
\item Encourage collaboration
\item Track progress and assess performance
\item Keep records of previous processes and make future processes repeatable
\item Eliminate decision fatigue
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{But let's start much smaller than this}

% What can you answer with "yes"?
% * I know more than 3 RStudio shortcuts
% * I have never updated my R packages
% * I know what the ISO 8601 date format is
% * I regularly delete duplicate files
% * I usually have a clean e-mail inbox
% * I use file naming conventions

\begin{frame}{The bare minimum (IMHO)}
\begin{itemize}
\item Shortcuts
\begin{itemize}
\item \texttt{CTRL+C} and \texttt{CTRL+P}
\item \texttt{ALT+Tab} to switch between applications
\item In your browser: \texttt{CTRL+L}, \texttt{CTRL+T}, \texttt{CTRL+W},
\texttt{CTRL+Tab}, \texttt{CTRL+Page Up/Down}
\item Using \texttt{Alt} to open up ``File''
\item Sending code chunks with \texttt{CTRL+Enter} to the console in RStudio
\end{itemize}
\item Making file endings visible
\item Associating TXT-files with a proper text editor
\item Making sure that CSV-files are \emph{never} opened by EXCEL accidentily
\item Setting List or Details View for files
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{One (baby) step up}
\begin{itemize}
\item Shortcuts for efficient text editing
\begin{itemize}
\item Jumping to next word
\item Jumping to next instance of a word
\item Findind and replacing a certain word
\item Deleting/copying complete line
\item Commenting in/out of complete code chunks
\item \dots
\end{itemize}
\item Update R packages once a week
\item Update R and RStudio at least twice a year
\item If you use R outside of RStudio, use SDI
%\item Consistent date format (preferably ISO 8601)
%\item Deleting duplicates
%\item Cleaning out e-mails
%\item Self-sorting files
\end{itemize}

\begin{frame}{Project workflow}
\begin{itemize}
\item Project workflow refers to how you organize projects and move
through the various stages of the research cycle
\item \citet{Kathawalla2021} say that a project workflow includes:
\begin{itemize}
\item File folder structure
\item Document naming conventions
\item Version control
\item Cloud storage
\item Choice of who has access to a project and when (Collaborators? Public?)
\end{itemize}
\item Developing a clear project workflow is much easier for PhD
students than later career scholars who have many more projects to
organize

\item Then adapt files from there and document changes/provenance
\item Dump older files cluttering your working directory
