Creativity is a non linear process. Ideas rarely flow in a logical 'I, II, III, IV' order. That's one reason people like to use a mind map whenever they need to be more creative. It’s a nonlinear approach to project planning that can widen perspective and generate new ideas.
If you're unfamiliar with the mapping process, here's how it works. First, start with a blank page with your project's name inside a circle in the middle of the page. As ideas flow record them as offshoots or branches coming out from the circle. Don't edit. Write down all your ideas as well as any concerns and opportunities to get a complete and clearer picture of your project.
But don't stop there. As Albert Einstein said, "The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." So when nothing else comes to mind, repeat the process on another piece of paper. (from HeartMath)
