If you are looking to maximize your working time, don't waste time repeating the same steps to reach an expected final result. Better use photoshop actions specific that will help give your photographs that style you are looking for.
Adobe's most important editing program, "Photoshop" has a very powerful programming language. This one allows you record steps through actions then automatically repeat them on some element you select. So, you can not only record your own actions, but you can also import those created by others.
