I create a set of characters and the world they're in first. Then go over who the villains are going to be and in what order they appear as well as an ending. This is pretty much the planning stage and I have planning templates but I don't like using them a lot since they can create repetitive scenarios. After that, I decide what the characters will do and just go wild. I can never measure how long an arc is going to take as they have to be either long in order to make sense or short because there isn't much to do. After that, I kind of just throw whatever I feel like into the mix at different points to make it more entertaining and also help the characters along. This isn't a good way of doing things but it's what I do and it works well.
