Idea Listing

Idea listing may be the best method for you. It's an easy technique with just two steps:

1. Write your prompt at the top of the page.

2. List your ideas below your prompt.

3. Writing your prompt at the top of the page helps remind you of the focus of your essay, and it will bring you back on task if you get distracted. List your ideas in the order they come to mind.

This method may make it easier for you to pick out the main ideas you want to use in your essay later on.
