I should steal this idea, though I'd like to add onto it. The introduction is always hard to revise, because writers often plan to go somewhere and then end up going somewhere else. So you have to go back and clean up the introduction to match the rest of the essay. But since you constructed the rest of the essay with the introduction in mind, you have to edit the whole thing to match or just scrap the introduction and start from scratch.
And titles. No working title survives to the final print.

Writing is an open-ended commitment that it is the writer's task to close.
