Abstract re-used patterns to functions

More for advanced users, but be open to using user functions. for instance is a code, or codes in several different notes (or prototypes) are calling the same sequence of actions, consider abstracting the task into a function.

By using a function, the process is written and tested once, with the only varying element being the inputs passed to the function. The more steps to the common process, the more the pay-off as any changes only need to be made tested in the function code and not in all the notes using the function (or the code in the note that function replaced).
