[Leica] How do folks manage catalogs in Lightroom?

I have just one large catalog, and make extensive use of collections, usually defined by location. So, for example, I have a collection set called “Denmark” and within it there is a separate collection for each trip, e.g. “April 2018” for the most recent one.

The one exception is my film images, which I keep in a separate catalog.

Cheers,
Nathan
