Sorry that this message got bungled yesterday. Note that the message repeats at 11:00 am automatically, but I might change the message if weather changes.
Note that I can stay warm and work at the computer in the green house so I may be able to open anytime if you call. Do not hesitate to call.

Using a Mind Map to Define Your Idea or Project
A mind map is a great way to clear your thinking on any subject or project. Some people use the technique as a “brain dump” which helps a lot with overwhelm when you have too many ideas floating around in your head. It is a visual technique which helps get past a lot of the blocks our brains set for us. It is also a great way to take notes in any class! This is an example of how a mind map works. The instructor is using a tablet but all you need is a big piece of paper and some fresh markers!
From the Wikipedia on Mind Mapping:
Tony Buzan suggests the following guidelines for creating mind maps:
Mindmapping Tools
You will need:
Mindmapping programs are available. Some are open source, some will cost you. In general – pens and paper works great! The goal though is not to get fussy. The goal is to capture your thoughts and ideas fast!

You do NOT need to be a skilled artist to create mind maps but some folks have made a career of offering this service. Be inspired but don’t worry if yours is more plain or basic!
