I see that you’re also a Mindmap aficionado! Mindmaps are my premium tool for inspiration. Although I sometimes use FreeMind, the process of mindmapping seems to be even more productive if I hand-draw with fat, coloured pens on large sheets of paper.
The difference between onscreen mindmapping and hand-drawing is quite simple: I tend to doodle with my pens if I’m drawing a mindmap. I embellish, underline, colour in and so on. Doodling seems to put me in a free frame of mind: I start to muse.
Mindmaps work because they replicate the way we store and access knowledge in our brains. When I write a post, I put the main thought in the centre and then radiate branches from there that represent sub-ideas. These branches have their own branches, and so on. The final touch is to connect related ideas with lines, dots, or doodles.
What I find is that each mindmap produces not only ideas for the post I originally had in mind, but at least a dozen ideas for others.
