I know that this is not the advice you are soliciting for but I recommend you invest some money into mind mapping software. I've tried a few but
Mind Manager is by far the most useful I've found.
I feel that I am able to completely collect, organize and visualize my ideas with this software. I was easily able to justify the expense as money I couldn't afford
not to spend. Freeware and Shareware use represents to me a time in my life when my level of commitment to my goals was underdeveloped and partially functional, just like the software I was hoping to utilize.
