Today we learned about mind mapping as a way to visually see all your ideas or solutions to a particular problem. It's kind of like a brainstorming activity, but Jimmy encouraged us not to judge our thoughts and to write as many of them as possible down on our paper. Jimmy then had each of us test out this whole mind mapping thing in class. We had to come up with a question or problem and write down our solutions to that problem, no matter how far out or ridiculous they were. The problem I chose to tackle in my mind map was "I'm hungry but I don't have any food." Because there wasn't a filter from my thoughts to what I jotted down on my mind map, it caused for some amusing answers to my problem, which included the following:
- Keep checking the fridge until food magically appears
- Act like a bum and beg for food
- Mooch food off of friends
- Go on a date just for free food
I find mind mapping really helpful when it comes to writing an essay. I actually do that too! I kept checking my fridge until food magically appears!!
