I am a huge fan of mind mapping. For my money, whenever I brainstorm an idea, I strongly prefer to see how my thoughts relate to one another in a visual way. Number one, capturing this intellectual web in a permanent form prevents my ideas from escaping my memory; number two, seeing “the big picture” allows me to observe logic flaws more easily and to develop a clearer picture of the notions I am attempting to develop in the first place.
