Right Bart, it goes something like this....
Open file
Apply filmic rgb module and adjust roughly to taste
Apply film preset (bottom l/h corner, I use across a lot)
Adjust filmic
Apply exposure module if required
Apply contrast equaliser as required
Apply tone equaliser as required
Apply split toning to taste
Apply sharpening to taste
I also use crop and rotate, lens correction and perspective correction as required.
There is a good series of utube tutorials by "Bruce Williams Photography" that will take you through the modules (plus masking), note that the rgb workflow is new in 3.0 and is at the end of Bruces tutorials (go there first).
Hope that helps.
It is a bit heavy going at first but once you grasp what is going on it gets much easier, there are a lot of modules and I am still experimenting with some (not mentioned here). Give me a shout as you progress and we can compare notes.
