Mindmapping
These days I’ve got a lot of preparation work to do. I’m presenting a series of six day long workshops in the fall, on various aspects of doing business on the Internet. As well, I’ll have a booth at the MeFest women’s show in Waterloo in October.
Although it may seem that I have a lot of time before these events, I know from experience that I need to be doing a little every day to prepare. One of the things I find most helpful is using a mindmap. I start by drawing a box in the middle of a large sheet of paper and writing my main topic inside. Then I draw spokes to sub-topics, then more spokes to sub-sub-topics, and on and on. For a computer based approach, you can go to mindomo to see their online mindmapping software.

If you are a visual person, try mindmapping and see if it simplifies planning for you. My productivity has really increased since I’ve gone from lists to mindmaps.
