Pro tips on improving speed for LBO modeling?

I've started to practice paper, basic and full LBO modeling but still struggling to complete the exercises within the time limit I should expect in an interview.

Are there general tips to improve on speed when building an LBO model from scratch? Specifically I'm interested in tips around: 1) Formatting / setting up a base template - I've seen a range of templates that vary quite a bit in structure and level of granularity. What would be the minimum viable structure that would work under most scenarios I'd see? 2) Setting up income statement, B/S, CF statement model drivers based on historicals if not given 3) Order to flow and details as to why (e.g. start with assumptions, sources & uses, financial forecast, cash flow, etc.)

Any general tips would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
