Since then, whenever I sit down for a mind-mapping session I make a "core dump" mind map. I dump everything on my mind down, and then that creates enough cache and RAM space to actually think about something else.

But mind-mapping (and general open-ended notes dumping) have been getting less frequent over the years, and radically less frequent recently. Used to be I'd dump 20p of notes almost daily, including a core-dump and maybe 1-2 other mind maps. Now it's 3-4mo between sessions.

During PhD/postdoc... but not always. Bursts like that for several months, then periods of filtering/pruning, working on developing promising lines. Probably more like 20p every other day and not on weekends, so really only 2-3 such sessions a week.
