I'm an ECR (postdoc) so I'm still polishing my writing. I was lucky to work with very prolific co-authors who taught me this approach and so far it's the best for me. I always find it daunting to begin a paper but with professional essay editors, everything becomes simple. Break everything down to the smallest task, 2) start writing and annotating as early as you can and try to be consistent, and 3) set clear goals with your co-authors early on, I find turn-over is more important than "perfection". Starting from scratch is always daunting for me, so I have a word template with the classic IMRaD structure. This gives me a skeleton and feels more ""manageable"" than a white page, even though I don't know which will be the target journal. I scribble down the Methods section and add relevant publications for the intro and discussion as soon as I start the project.
