Hot take: the lady at my library's write-in told me to write the ending first, and 6 months later my draft is actually done

I thought it was nonsense because how do you know the ending when you just started, but she made me write the last scene on a napkin anyway at the Aurora branch in March. Having that napkin taped above my desk got me past page 40, where my other 3 drafts died. What weird rule did someone hand you that actually worked?
