Through making a few mind maps of my own I can understand the viewpoint of the authors in that it is an extremely helpful way to quickly write down your ideas and form connections later. Similar to free writing, they both require the ability to let go of judgment and simply write your ideas/thoughts. Although, I am improving at mind mapping, out of all the strategies I enjoy creating word lists the best. I think they are neater and have cleaner lines for my train of thought to follow and make connections. However, all of the suggested ways to come up with ideas can be very helpful, except for maybe brainstorming. In my experience brainstorming, with a group, often leads to a few talking over each other and others not being heard.
