Tips for using it

Questions
How do you brainstorm on your own?
Write the topic, list every idea that comes without judging it, then step back and pick the strongest. Finish with one small action to move it forward.
Can I come back and add ideas later?
Pin the note while you're still thinking it over, and add ideas whenever they arrive.
