Clustering

Clustering is spontaneous and can take less then 5 minutes. It's a quick way to splat your thoughts and feelings out on paper in a short amount of time.

Start with an idea you want to explore in the middle. Then branch off with ideas, feelings, people, places, and things. Write the 1st word that comes to mind. Continue the branch until you're no longer making connections. When a new thought comes that you want to explore, go back to the middle and begin branching out again.

Don't think deeply on this. You can dig for deeper thoughts and journal about those later.

When flipping through the pages of your journals to re-read and explore your growth, the picture stands out and shows you a quick snapshot of where you were.
