Thanks for the shout out! Great quick and to-the-point explanation of Mind Mapping. I especially like how you incorporate the visual niceties of sketchnotes with your mind maps. I really like injecting a sense of randomness thrown in the mix. Anything where one has to link specific random words or pictures to their known problem seems to generate a lot of out of the box ideas. Also, the Morphological Matrix for logo design is a good technique, especially for beginning designers. Please keep these coming!
My pleasure! Morphological Matrix. That's one I've not heard of yet! I'll have to check it out. I will certainly keep these coming! Thank you for the comment!
I've experimented with mind maps for problem solving - here's a short summary. I use a blank A4 sheet in landscape format, and divide it in 3x3 equal cells (just by hand, no ruler needed). I have prepared a couple of sticky notes so I can see them from my desk. On a central sticky note, I have some key processes, like orientation, asking questions, generating ideas, looking back, and perhaps two others. For each of these key processes, I have another sticky note with stimuli that help me with the process, like a list of general questions I find useful ("What's puzzling? What happens if I make changes to one part?" etc.). With this toolbox in front of me, I start in the first cell, usually with a mind map on orientation about my topic. Each cell is fairly small, and I have it filled soon - after that I can decide what aspect to investigate in more depth in the next cell, or I can look back from a new cell on the previous one. For each cell, I can decide what layout works best - in most cases, I use a mind map, but sometimes it's a diagram or just ordinary text lines. Personally, I find this 3x3 approach useful for three reasons. First, in my experience, a single mind map on a large sheet suggests a layout with several main branches of equal weight - but in problem solving, I often want to follow a path of ideas, and this path would make a classical mind map highly asymmetrical. Second, the transition from one cell to to the next triggers me to refocus and to understand what I'm doing right now, so these things happen more often in the 3x3 setting than in the classical map. Third, I find it much easier to look back on an aspect in one map from a new cell than from a branch in the same large map. Some final remarks. Depending on handwriting, aesthetic taste and paper size, one can experiment with 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 cells. From my experience, it seems a good idea to assemble a personal tool box of stimuli. The Wikipedia page on problem solving or Project Zero at Harvard's Graduate School of Education are possible starting points. I organize the sheets in a zettelkasten - but that's another topic.
What other ideation techniques would you like me to cover?

I love all the color in your background. Sets a great mood.
Eric Renner Thank you sir. I aim to inspire! 😁🙌🏻

@travis, what a great suggestion! Thanks for killing it again, Michael.
@@BrockAdventures Thank you Brandon! I really appreciate your comment! 🙌
My uni teacher linked us to some of your videos great stuff.
Thank you!!
Dude thanks for making this short and simple but effective. 💜🤙🏽😎
Thanks for watching man🤙🔥
I'm very appreciative of you, Bro... Superb 🤠
I’m glad it helped you!
thank you, i want share this technique for my student in my video. Sir, may i take this for the little part of my video?
I would be honored for you to share it! 😁🙌🏻
thank for sharing
Thanks for watching
its beautiful
Thanks so much! 😊🙌🏻
better use Freeplane or FreeMind for better use of mind mapping; you can also use CMAP tools as concept mapping...
Thanks for the resource tips!

Reading your comment was an enjoyable journey into your mental process. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks bro
You’re welcome!
