The Useful Stopping Rule

Define when a small draft is ready for its next use.

Process flows · Original writing

This is an original, small exercise. Try it on one real situation rather than reorganising everything at once.

Try the flow

  1. Name who will use the draft and for what purpose.
  2. List the two or three things it must contain for that use.
  3. Check those conditions rather than adding improvements without an end.
  4. Send it for the appropriate review, or leave one clear question if it is not ready.
