This is an idea I heard recently that combines the idea of outlining and brain-storming. The thought begin "Mind Mapping" is to organize your ideas without sacrificing creativity. Good uses for this would be preparing for a paper or speech.
Take the subject and draw a detailed picture of it in the middle of a sheet of paper. Use colors. Some subjects are more difficult to draw (e.g. creativity) but just try.
After the drawing is done. Think of all of the keywords that come to mind from the subject. For each one, draw a line coming out of the picture and write them on the line. After that, think of all of the words that come from each of those words and branch further out.
As ideas start to develop, draw more pictures and doodles to help. The idea isn't to create a neat and tidy outline but to engage all of your ideas. You can always clean up the organization later.
