When creating a document of any kind, you can start with an outline. It’s a great way to give yourself an overview of what you’re going to write, and what areas you need to cover. It also keeps various parts of a document attached and in proper flow. Headers are often sufficient but you can add a placeholder text to understand how long a document will last, and the format accordingly.
