In Brainstorming the How to attain your dreams, you can utilize a technique called "Mindmapping" which is a free flow technique to generate many ideas for your Goals. By generating a LOT of ideas, you can find a lot of ideas and pick out the best ones for you. And many ideas that you might not have ever even considered as too outlandish might now be possible with your mindmapping.

What is Mind Mapping?

Mind mapping is a visual information brainstorming tool to help an individual to create, structure, memorize, arrange, brainstorm and organize information in a unique and innovative manner.

Mind mapping is more than creating a map. The process has evolved into a imagination stirring tool that is transforming our thinking, working and conceptualizing of innovation and process.

Your Mindmapping Mentality

A lot. This free association technique is a great tool for having one’s mind wander, connecting new ideas with zany ideas and interrupting them with better ideas. The key: “If you don’t have any good ideas, then come up with more bad ideas!” Interpretation: Volume is the key without internal editing.

In another column, I’m going to talk about your “Inner Roommate” which is that voice in your head, the nagging voice, the terrible voice which will edit you in this process. Some Inner Roommate quotes might be “No, that’s a bad idea.” “Oh, you’re way too extravagant.” “That will never work!”

That is the voice to acknowledge, say thank you very much for your input and then proceed with daring. Boldness. Extravagance. Impossibility.

Essentially, go nuts. You can use markers, pencils, crayons, anything. Use a notebook or a chalkboard. I have a tablet called “Remarkable” that is one of the best electronic items I ever spent money on. An Electronic erasable mindmapping machine for me.
