Externalize Your Thinking and Organize with a Simple Template

Externalize your thinking by creating a quick mind map or bullet points to outline your ideas and tasks. For simple projects, a formal project plan may not be necessary, but for more complex tasks like planning a birthday party or vacation, using a mind map can be helpful. By externalizing your thinking and using a template to organize your ideas, you can effectively line up your thoughts and ensure that you are not keeping everything in your head. Many people delay writing down a project because they haven't planned it thoroughly, so the next action might be to plan the project or brainstorm ideas to kickstart the planning process.
