I've been using Org-Mode for over 10 years. There is no one way.

You start off first writing simple outlines, and then you start creating todos, and then maybe you start to look at agendas to organize your todos (note: I rarely do this).

The biggest game changer for me was org-roam. It's essentially a database of all my files where I can add snippets or link to other files, or whatnot.

The TODO stuff I use a rough general guide of where I am, but I do not strictly adhere to it.

Essentially: Make Org-Mode work for you and your mindset, don't feel the need to bend to it.

I should try roam, it might help with my scattered brain (or maybe it will make it worse :)

do you know good videos of people demonstrating their workflow habits ?

I don't know about videos, but here's my general workflow.

    1. "Huh, I wonder at what point SSDs of today are comparable
        to RAM speeds of yester-year?"
    2. `C-c n c` (create-node) "ssd_ram_yearly" (title)
    3. (a document spawns) "\* SSD vs RAM comparison" (I give it a
        better unofficial title)
    4. I do googling, drag and drop images into the document (org-download
       is a must have)
    5. Satisfied with the document, I decide to link it to a
       parent node
    6. `C-c n i` (insert node) "random_thoughts"
    7. If the random_thoughts node exists, it just links, if not, it
       creates a new document which I can fill out, and then `C-c
       C-c` to complete it, and then it links back to the ram document.
    8. I finally do `C-c C-c` to complete the original ram document.

Later on:

    1. "Huh, what was I thinking about again?"
    2. `C-c n f` (find node) "random_thoughts"
    3. `C-c n l` (show backward links) a new buffer pops up showing
       all files that link to random_thoughts, and I click on 
       the Ram ssd one.

Gonna try.. it seems well suited to multiple contexts switches
