not sure this anyone would find this interesting...but this is how I go about doing my "loops" diagrams

1. first I use write simple things like this to get connections out of my head. at this point it is very rough...

2. I get a little more detailed/structured. All the while I validate these along the way and try to involve other people (hence my initials here vs. other contributors).

3. I do a lot of these ... it gets a bit out of control. I might end up with with hundreds of hypothesis connections

4. Then ... I go VERY broad. I dump all the connections into stickies and start de-duping and grouping.

Things look crazy at this point. And that is OK.

4. At this point, i realize I've maybe done this exercise before ... so I cross reference it with other crazy diagrams to see if it makes sense. Do a little tweaking

5. Finally...realizing people will think I've gone off the deep end ... I will try to simplify:

6. And realizing THAT is too complex, I'll simplify further...

7. I actually enjoy this process and find it calming and therapeutic.

And @MiroHQ is my tool of choice...both for collaboration and doing solo work.
