Still on the theme of starting the year, but without anyknown tsarist involvement, here’s my wall décor in my dining room:
It’s my hardcopy mind map for what I want 2017 to include
for me. There are major categories, subset nodes and sub-subsets.
I like using colored stickies for this function. For mind-mapping,
stickies are about equal with a big-ass whiteboard. (The last time I did
mind-mapping, for a class assignment in the Valley They Call Silicon, it was an
extremely frustrating effort, due to lack of whiteboard, big-ass or otherwise,
and no inspiration to use the stickies. The
results were less than stellar.)
In fact, this time around, I actually started with a
big-ass whiteboard, in my office, and transferred all the nodes to the stickies
so I could erase all evidence at work of attempting a personal life and
transport the information home.
Since then I’ve transposed much of it online using a mind-mapping
software package that’s a bit of a kludge, but easier to manage because I
already have the visual notion of what I want included and in what hierarchical
structure. Back at Stanford, I was trying to do it all online from the get-go,
and there was a lot of resulting blood in the vicinity.
Anyhow, I now have some shape for dealing with 2017. Let’s
hope I end it better than my Romanov relatives.
