Douglas E. Welch<p>How to make a map of your mind via Austin Kleon [Shared]</p><p>When ideas aren’t coming, or I’m confused about what’s going on in my head, I’ll make something called a mind map. Starting in the middle of a notebook page, I’ll draw a picture, or write a word or phrase with a box or a circle around it, then I’ll write the first word or phrase that comes to my mind next to it, enclose it with a box or a circle, and draw a line connecting them. I’ll repeat this process until the page is full.</p><p><a href="https://welchwrite.com/blog/2025/06/05/how-to-make-a-map-of-your-mind-via-austin-kleon-shared/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">welchwrite.com/blog/2025/06/05</span><span class="invisible">/how-to-make-a-map-of-your-mind-via-austin-kleon-shared/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/mindmap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mindmap</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/mind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mind</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/map" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>map</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/mindmapping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mindmapping</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/creativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>creativity</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/shared" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shared</span></a></p>
