Spend some time getting to know layers and playlists. For the longest time, I was creating new tracks every time I wanted to record a new take. Then I learned about playlists and the fact that recording again in the same track creates a new layer (which takes precedence by default). I just recorded something today and have 3 different takes, some with multiple rerecordings and…it’s all one track!
Man, I wish I had known this earlier. Basically, I just kept recording again and again until I felt the take was good. Then, I created a new playlist and did the process again. This session felt so clean because at the end of the day, all of the different takes are nicely organized under different playlists in one track, meaning the interface isn’t cluttered with 5 different tracks or whatever.
Serves me right for not reading the manual, I guess 
I tend to learn the minimum necessary to do what I want to do, but now I’m realizing that sometimes I should just buckle down and dive in to learn more advanced stuff — it would have paid off big time in this case (mainly in terms of keeping stuff organized). Don’t be like me
