Hello all! Today I thought I would look at how making and using a project board can help you in your creative process. They actually have many names (inspiration board, visual idea board, etc.) but I'm calling mine the project board.

Why did I decide to use a project board?

Because I've had so many ideas floating around in my head! And they were driving me crazy! And these ideas let to me not knowing where to start with my creative process. How can I focus on just one thing at a time when there is so much I want to do?! I've had seriously bad information overload.
By making my project board, I can look to see all the different kinds of projects I want to work on without feeling totally overwhelmed. Putting my projects into categories has also helped me to see what I'm prioritizing and what I'm not.
How does a project board help with the creative process?
A project board follows the principles of the mind mapping technique, which is for visually outlining information. By managing the information effectively, you give it space in your mind. In that space, creativity can grow and you have room in your brain to process and look at your projects in other ways.
Information overload never helps the creative process. So, find which way of mind mapping works for you to help you organize your information overload and go for it.
Until next time :)
