You get the same questions in your head before starting an essay, don’t you?

Starting anything without proper knowledge is a big bold NO and you should avoid doing it all cost.
Understand the nature of your essay and what tone you want to write it in. Your Essay could be informative or narrative or descriptive. You have to know that before starting it.
Brainstorming is a key to success in everything.
Always be open to new ideas and learning new things. You can brainstorm just by sitting in silence and thinking or share your ideas with anyone around you and get their ideas and opinions. Brainstorming before writing essays helps you sort out the necessary and unnecessary information easily.

Whatever you’re thinking, note it down by hand.
Doesn’t matter if that thought is important or totally random, as long as it’s about the essay you’re planning.
WRITE. IT. DOWN.
Writing down your thoughts helps you remember them and even the most random thoughts can be useful while writing an essay depending on how you implement them.
It’s the time that you let go of all the thoughts that are irrelevant or too vague to be used in your essay.
Drop the thoughts that you think are not needed in your essay and try to improvise the thoughts that are left after dropping the unneeded thoughts from your head (and your pad if you wrote them down)
It will help you stay concise while writing the essay and stop you from getting distracted by other irrelevant thoughts.
STUDY HARD!
If you pay enough attention in class, you might not be having many problems writing an essay. Go through your study material, your course books and relevant notes you’ve taken.
It will not only make it easier for you to write the essay but also help you get better marks on the essay since it will be relevant to your course.
Play smart, not hard!
But what is an outline in an essay?
Essay outlines can include (but are not limited to) a list of topic(s) you want to cover, all the headings and sub-headings, and the important words or phrases you want to include in your essays.
After creating an outline, you simply get done with most of the essay. Just add an intro, summarize the headings and subheadings, and add the conclusion(s) and your essay is done!
To be honest…
It sounds easier than doing it.
You have followed all the steps above and already came up with an essay plan?
Amazing, now cram up everything in your essay!
Does your essay look and sound interesting?
NO, IT DOESN’T
Why? You wrote down everything relevant that came up in your mind. It should look perfect, shouldn’t it?
You have to write your essay according to the requirements and follow the word count limit. Exceeding the word count limit or falling short on the word count can get your essay rejected and you should always keep that in your mind.
Stuffing your essay with irrelevant information won’t do any good for your grades neither adding relevant information without proper evidence and research would.
After you’re done with creating an outline and jotting it down. Go through your essay outline once again, remove all the unnecessary and irrelevant info. Double-check the word count limit and adjust the context of your essay according to the assigned word count.
Now after you have done proper research on your essay. You are completely clear about what to include and exclude in your essay!
