The Connections Journal

Fragments from imaginary dialogues

“Do you use mind-maps?”

“Yes and no.

Yes, in that I love the idea behind the system.
No, because I find the system a bit restrictive.”

“Restrictive in what way?”

“The mind-mapping system represents things with a tree-like structure, starting from one central point. That is useful, but I very often find myself wanting to connect the different branches. For me, a more useful model is the network.

So I don’t use mind maps, I use what I call connections-maps.”

“You like connecting things.”

“I love connecting things. 

A recent idea of mine is to start a journal just for that. I call it the Connections Journal.“
