8. LISTING
Lists are easy to do, and our brains like to make lists, so it relaxes your mind as you do it.

9. CLUSTERING Clustering is for visual learners.
It allows you to “see” the connections easily.
It prevents you from writing in complete sentences, reducing the amount of things you need to process as you start your brainstorming.
