Monday’s planning tip for authors

Yesterday, I created a simple, printable, PDF mind map to plan my articles for the 100 articles in 100 days marathon I’ve joined.

My goal was to be able to organize article titles by hand while watching television, riding in a car, or relaxing at a bookstore cafe.

If you’re not already a Mindjet user, I encourage you to download a PDF copy of my blank map and print it.

Use it to familiarize yourself with the idea of planning before writing.

Use it to select article titles, schedule blog posts, create a newsletter editorial calendar, or to organize the chapters in your book. You can download it for free–no registration required.

If you’re happy with the idea of displaying complex, multi-part projects on a single sheet of paper before you begin writing, the next step will be for you to download Mindjet’s MindManager 30-day free trial so you can try the real thing on your computer!
