Technique #5: Clustering
This simple technique is fun, focused and may quickly rope those thoughts into a clear picture. Take a piece of paper and in the center write one word. Look at the feelings or thoughts that one word conjures up. Go one direction and branch off that word or thought. Go another direction and see where that leads. Using colored markers, pens, pencils or crayons circle the words that seem to fit together. Now, step back and look at your creation - do you see a theme? Maybe a solution? Are things looking clearer to you, now? To journal the outcome of your cluster may bring you to a clearer understanding or at least a direction you may not have thought of to take.

ReplyDeletei use this technique all the time...my notes, to do lists and doodles are full of arrows and little piles of thoughts on the page. it looks scattered, but it makes more sense to me than a paragraph!
