Getting high quality digital prints from digital photos is amazingly cheap these days (for example, I use https://www.photobox.co.uk/photo-printing/photo-prints-6x4 ) Which is also cheaper than professionally developed film - though you should avoid the temptation of photobooks, canvas prints, and so forth except in special circumstances.

So, get into good habits of quickly discarding bad shots (e.g. out of focus), and the worst versions when you have taken multiple shots of the same thing - either in pauses in your photography (avoid chimping) or when you get back home. Then do a round of basic cropping and any lighting adjustments. Perhaps add keywords or star ratings to the photos if that's your thing. Then consider what is worth printing, and what just kept digitally. Also purge functional shots (such as the pill photos of the video) when no longer useful.

I think with good habits, you'll spend less time on drudgery than film photography (whether you develop it professionally or yourself), you'll have moments of admiring your work as you do so (I hope!) and have better results at the end of it all.

Film photography can serve as a useful discipline in thinking about your craft, or be more rewarding as an act of creation, but it won't save you time or effort.
