Mind Map your ideas until “aha!”

I have more ideas than I can follow, and sometimes I get jumbled up and everything slows to a crawl until I can get my ideas sorted out.

Mind mapping is amazing! Either with software such as Mind Manager or Free Mind, or just on a big piece of paper with a pencil and eraser, you can plot out your ideas, draw and re-draw connections until you reach that magical point of “Aha!” when things fall into place and you have a new insight.

I like the electronic versions because they are so easy to re-arrange. Just drag and drop and your ideas are clustered in new ways.

The next big thing for me to get my head around is the plethora of ideas and topics for this blog. I’ve been posting for three weeks now, and the shotgun approach is starting to get to me. (And if you’ve been reading my posts, it may very well be starting to get to you, too). Since this coming weekend is a bank holiday, I’m going to devote some of my free time to mind mapping my blog topics. I think that it will help me to focus on main topics, and also to spend a few days on one bigger topic, blogging on interesting related things. That will make my days more stress free. And I bet I’ll get more done too.
