I'm always glad to learn how people brainstorm and generate ideas, and your experience is a valuable resource to learn from. I usually use outlines in OneNote to do my brainstorming and rarely use mind maps, but I think I will give mind mapping another try. Thanks for your sharing, Adrian!

I would also add that being consistent is also very important. How many times do we have a great idea, we are very excited about it, start working on it, and then something happens that puts us of track. Voila, chances are we don't get back to it and that momentus is lost. I think mindmaps will definitely help to organise and even jot down ideas. When i feel like my brain is exploding with ideas, even simple ones, I draft a mindmp on paper and then create its digital version. I noticed times and times again that new ideas do come up spontaneously when i do them. A digital mindmap does take longer to create, but its definitely worthed for many reasons mainly: Can be shared/transferred easily. You can change/add to it anytime. Not limited to your paper size. More difficult to lose therefore your ideas are safe. You can store it in your web mailbox, just in case your hard disk fails. I have recently started doing mindmaps again, but this time time in a smarter way. I had used mindmaps to help me in my University studies, and they are greate knowledge retention tools. but because I tend to lack consitancy, I stopped using them. I also limited myself to use paper, making it harder to go back something later on.

I believe there is an important characteristic such external inputs should have in order to be useful and that is diversity. Diversity allows you to get fresh ideas, either by giving you new perspectives on the problems you face, or by creating connections between the inputs (ideas are cross-pollinating anyway). So to break down the idea brick walls, the bottom line is this: get diverse inputs to stimulate your mind. [...] [...] Of course, not all kinds of external inputs are useful.
