When I first tried paper piecing, I hated it and thought it was horrible.
Second try, I thought pretty much the same. Detested it and swore. Never!
Then ... there was something I wanted to do and it required paper piecing.
I went at it because I wanted the results and and by the time I was finished it, I had developed my own style and flow of how to do it and was in love with the technique. Bits and pieces of how to's grabbed from here and there. My basic training came from here

I made four of these blocks, stitched them together and then started at my major project.

OneByOne, I have become a "grab and go" PP'er.
It might be using scraps that I have, or right out of a piece of yardage!
In the end, I don't think I waste any more fabric in doing it this way, than those who pre-cut.
In all honesty, I often think that I use less than if pre-cutting, but have no "official" assessment of that.
What works for one, does not necessarily work for the other.
So keep at it, and develop your own style.
You already have said you like the results ... perfect points and precision piecing!
You asked what we have done .... here's some of mine for inspiration.
This was my first PPing effort, beyond that four block self-training that I mentioned above.
