Dec 8, 2016 at 20:56 comment added nfdc23 This is best learned by experience with techniques of argument than by seeking an all-purpose general "slogan"; i.e., one really should look under the hood at the engine. It is akin to the fact that technique is far more important than general theorems in the study of PDE. The methods are developed and used in a masterful way in EGA, so poke around in there to learn. Read EGA I and II (skip the final section 8 there), then section 8 of IV$_4$, and then explore.
