Default overseeding - how to?

Overseeding sounds simple, but is it? Do I just spread grass seed over
the areas I want to seed, and water daily, or must I loosen the soil first
and/or cover the seed with straw afterward?

Make sure you don't have a layer of thatch on the ground. The seed
must be in direct contact with the ground. First, mow as low as
possible. Spread starter fertilizer and seed. Keep moist. For bare
areas use straw to protect the seedlings. It's easy!
