...you should send out, today, the best work you are capable of doing today. Of course you'll do better a year from now. But a year from now you should be writing the story that you care about and believe in at that time--not reworking this year's story.

The short answer is, "Any way that works."
I also used to do the line-per-page outline Elton's describing here. I think a lot of writers have found that helpful. But (and this is a bad analogy) it's a 2-dimensional way of looking at a script and my stories tend to tumble through my head in all three dimensions.
So I end up doing a one-page that's partly the above approach, partly this, and partly a sort of fractal idea map.
But you never know how it will work on the next script. Any way I can get the ideas down in a way I can understand them best as I script.
