I start by writing a quick statement about the purpose and the audience of the piece. I keep it at the top of the document as I outline and flesh out the writing. This ensure the material stays tight and on topic.

Similar to you, I write the material out in a single flow and then revise/edit later. I like to let the piece rest and revise at different sitting or a different day. This way I am able to read and critique the piece with fresh eyes.

I prefer writing in the morning.

I don't use any writing app, just hammer it out in Google Doc, or these days in an EverNote note under a notebook called Writing.

I also like to free-write on a topic from time-to-time to explore and uncover interesting concepts. (Checkout this book on free writing: https://www.amazon.com/Accidental-Genius-Revolutionize-Think...)
