I presume things like making screenshots, browsing files, looking up contacts, maintaining a calendar, reading and sending emails, calculating some quick numbers, making backups and so on.

Stuff that, regardless of your niche, is needed. Whether you are a programmer or a plumber, you'll be doing many of these tasks on a daily basis.




Oh OK. Nit picking, but more like "core functions" then right? Put two or more together and it's a workflow.


Correct.

Core workflows would then be composed of core functions. E.g. "look up a contact to schedule a meeting" would be a core workflow, composed of core functions addressbook + calendar + email.
