  • Mind Map It

    A common reason for feeling stuck on a project is because there’s too much information to process, causing you to lose clarity on your end goal. Mind mapping is a visual note-taking style to help you get your ideas out on paper. Essentially, you’re making a map of how all of your ideas relate to one another. Start with one central idea, like the overall project goal or just a piece of it. From there, think about the major tasks, goals, or ideas behind the projects.
