Take a plain index card. Turn it to make its vertical 5" long. Start to write:
Identify your topic on the title. Write three sentences. Space the paragraph, rewrite three sentences.
Reaching the bottom of the card, there should be five paragraphs. Five paragraphs, three sentences. Memorize: 5x3 on 3x5.
One side of an 5x3 index card suffices for an essay. If not, take two index cards. If that's not enough, focus.
This post fits on one 3x5. There is even some space left. I need to add this sentence just to follow my own rule.

Concluding List
Open a document and type Conclusion. Under this title, deposit ideas. Let simmer.
Hopefully, an outline should appear. Reopen the document and read the list. Pick one idea from the outline and summarize it into an intelligible paragraph above the list.
Reiterate until a conclusion emerges. Its first part should be what has been done, the second part what's left for future work. Discard everything else.
