List of Steps for Redox Rxns

What's the list of steps that help us balance redox reactions more easily?

1. write and balance half-reactions except O and H
2. For acidic solution, balance O by H2O; H by H+.
For basic, balance O by H2O; H by H2O to the side that needs H and add OH- to the other
3. balance electric charges by adding electrons to left for reduction; right for oxidation.

Hope it's straight enough.
