Some observations missing from the piece:
Good writing requires refining and editing as much as developing an outline and a first draft. Reading the piece aloud will trigger a natural editing and refinement process and is useful for important content.
I find Grammarly helpful for spotting problems in writing, I agree with about half of the suggestions but the review is still helpful. I have paid copy editors for books and important articles I have written.
Start with the audience you are writing for and what you hope they will learn or the actions you will encourage / enable.
Getting a first draft via dictation can be a better way to start than typing. Try it once or twice.
For important pieces ask for feedback from folks who are a good proxy for your target audience or are familiar with their needs.
