3. Start to write your idea. When your idea comes, draw a branch from the main topic and make it simple
4. Begin branching.Try to extend your thought from one idea to the next. Draw a line between thoughts to create lateral thinking. To make it more effective, make your branches curves rather than a straight-lined because it can be boring for your brain
