[TID-BITS] : APPLYING THE MIND MAP {to} PERSONAL LIFE
…find new relationships between all the different things I do, spend time on, am responsible for, want to do (or do more), have to think (worry?) about or am involved in.
…expand periodically (frequently?)
…use it to see how and where I can start to simplify, strategize, rethink, combine, separate and generally understand [my life]
…continue pursuing the life I dream of having.
…thinking about and then seeing “everything” together in proximity:
- On the one hand it makes everything seem rather un-monumental.
- On the other hand, seeing everything given similar or the same weight (visually) puts the weights in perspective, and begs the question “what is really important”.
[repeat]
what is really important
{period} {comma} {exclamation point} {questionmark}
This is a [question/statement/idea/thought/musing] I want to keep more top of mind, as I think searching for the answer is a big part of self-improvement.
Thoughts from reading (Cracking Creativity, pp 81-108)
- Putting an idea “away” for a while and returning to it later
- Turn the “problem” – over/backwards/rotate – to see it differently
- SCAMPER – questions for considering ideas/issues/problems in different ways
