Another great tutorial of Lightroom from Tim Grey. I didn't know about the "Goto folder" feature.

I do use the pick/reject method of selecting photos. I started with Lightroom in 2011 when I learned about the database capabilities when I was shooting with film. I keyworded my documents, but since I've started shooting digital past 2013, I've gotten lax.

For the pick/reject, I'll reject photos that are out of focus and I used it in August going through photos from the solar eclipse. I did an automated photo sequence with bracketing. Those photos that were serverly overexposed or severely underexposed that would require extensive editing got rejected.
