Step 1: Map out major steps

Start drawing several major blocks that represent the most important steps in your process. Don’t worry about the details for now.

In most cases, you can start with terminal symbol, and start drawing more process symbols (rectangles) for the next steps, and continue working your way through the end of the process. Because flowcharts are read left to right and top to bottom, make sure to draw your terminal symbol at the top left corner of your workspace.
