Making a mind map

Work through all those muddled things floating around in your head

I find that this time of year there are a lot of ideas floating around in my head. Leftover ideas from last year that I never got around to, things I am ruminating on, and things I want to plan for. Often it can feel a little bit “soupy” up there in my head. Paired with the slowness and need for rest that this winter season calls for, it doesn’t always feel easy to get mental clarity. 

A mind map can help with that. There are different ways to go about mind maps, and you can do one that’s a little more strategic in nature, but for this prompt we’re going to work at a one that’s more free-form, inspired by the way that Austin Kleon approaches them.
