Tackling the paste-and-ponder method

Some people find their ideas jell best given a little time. If you have an available wall or large bulletin board, try this: Rip out inspirational photos from magazines, gather your photos, and tack them up. Make the display orderly or make it a collage. Then leave it there and walk by every now and then, pausing to admire and study it. Add to it, shift things around, and take pieces away. This admittedly informal method can really help clarify your thinking and consolidate your planning, especially if you’re a visually oriented person. The paste-and-ponder method also helps you keep your eye on the prize, so leave the board up for a while.
