3 Steps to Revive an Old Project

3 Steps to Revive an Old Project

 by iMindMap

New Season, New Perspective

Spring is finally here, and (outside of Britain) flowers are starting to bloom, animals are coming out of hibernation, and it’s about time you took another stab at that long-overdue project that is gathering dust in the corner of your mind.
You know the ones I mean; that idea that you were so excited about at first, but that gradually shrank into nothing as more and more obstacles or issues got in the way. You just didn’t know how to make it work and you gave it up for dead.
Well now is the time to revive it with the help of some fresh perspectives!

Step 1 – Mind Map your Project


Start Mind Mapping as much information as you can about your project. Detail what it was, what you liked and disliked about it how far you had gotten with it, where you had hoped to go with it, any obstacles that prevented you from progressing and why you gave up on it. Make your map as colourful and expansive as possible to draw out those golden ideas.

Step 2 – Share your Mind Map

Nothing can revive a dusty old idea like looking at it from a different angle. Share your map with your friends on Facebook or Twitter by clicking the social sharing icons at the bottom of your iMindMap screen (new to iMindMap 10). This will post an image of your map straight on your timeline or feed.
Ask your friends to comment on your post or reply to your tweet with any ideas they might have for your project and let the suggestions role in. This is a speedy way to get a lot of feedback from a lot of people without asking for too much of their time.
If you have a really big map, you can also post a link to the iMindMap Viewer instead so that your friends can zoom in and view any attached notes. If you are unsure how to use our sharing options, then check out our tutorial videos for a step by step guide.

Step 3 – Mind Map the best ideas (and take over the world!)

Start to incorporate the thoughts and feedback you received into your map and use it to create a plan of action to re-ignite your project. Make sure to include any incomplete ideas in your map as well, as these can often lead to major, game-changing epiphanies. Sure, you may not always manage to revive that old idea – perhaps it really never was going to work – but it hardly takes any time to try and you never know when you could be onto a winner.
It also might be an idea to note down who came up with each idea so you can thank them later when your project goes global…

Artificial Intelligence: Friend or Foe?

Artificial Intelligence: Friend or Foe? Manahle Thabet, PhD Brain expert We are living in the age of algorithms, and AI is the natural next step in this age’s evolution. We can’t excise the tech from our lives, but we can benefit from it more and protect even the most vulnerable from abuses by shaping how we use it. AI: The tool Many people worry about artificial intelligence (AI) eliminating jobs and displacing workers, or even taking over human society. A February 2016 report from Citibank and the University of Oxford predicted that  automation threatens 47 percent of U.S. jobs , 35 percent of U.K. jobs, and 77 percent of jobs in China. An August report from Forrester stated that customer service and transportation jobs will be  gone by 2025 , and that we’ll feel the impact of this change within five years. These fears aren’t unfounded, but they may need refocusing. Few of us understand what algorithms are or how they work; to most o...

Keeping Our Thoughts Private in the Age of Mind-Reading

Keeping Our Thoughts Private in the Age of Mind-Reading Manahel Thabet, PhD Brain expert With brain computer interfaces (BCIs) having become commercially available after extensive use in the medical sector, recent research has found that they can be used to hack our brains for PINs or mine our minds for data. What is an EEG, and what have studies concerning its security found? Two new studies by the  University of Alabama  and the  University of Washington  have revealed the malicious possibilities lurking in the shadows of impressive promises of brain-computer interface (BCI) developers: the ability to access PINs and other private information. Electroencephalograms (EEG) are tests that detect electrical activity in your brain using a skullcap studded with electrodes. This technology has been used in the medical sector for years — for example,  to diagnose schizophrenia  as far back as 1998. However it is now due to be used fo...
