Doodling for Fun And Profit
Last week I shared with you 10 different ways to come up with content ideas. One of the was to doodle. I actually do that quite a bit and thought I’d share exactly what I do with you.
Depending on what mood I’m in and whether or not I want to be tied to my computer, I either doodle “virtually” with the help of a free mind mapping program called Freemind, or I do it the old-fashioned way with a piece of paper and a pen, pencil, crayon … whatever I can find laying around :) (or in today’s case the hotel stationary).
Let me show you an example of each.
The Mind Map Doodle
Paper Doodle
I drew this one on the back of the little hotel notepad this morning, just coming up with ideas for future blog posts and articles about wordpress plugins. Please excuse the handwriting.
Go ahead … give it a try!

This is definitely a great way to get the mind thinking and putting together a system to accomplish tasks. Thanks for the article!
I love making “mind maps” :) I either use a notebook or even Microsoft Visio!
You’re welcome Mike. Glad you found it helpful.
Christine, glad we’re on the same page when it comes to mind maps. I’ve never tried Microsoft Visio. Any particular reason you like that one? (I’m always looking for better tools).
