The Spreadsheet
For each idea, consider the different questions you may have. Not all the questions will be pertinent to every doubt.
If you want to work with me on a spreadsheet, I will gladly guide you.
This method works well to prepare a presentation of an idea to yourself and to others.
Done? Set it aside and do it again. You may be surprised by a different perspective.
A concept map
Start with a central concept, your doubt, and surround it with related ideas, creating a map around it. Start with your doubt in the middle of a page and link it to surrounding, related ideas.
Note: a question ends in ? whereas a doubt begins and ends with ¿
What would you do in a situation where you are unsure of your location?
Did it work? Do you know where you are? Start over. Could it also be another possible location? Real? Virtual?
Our senses guide us. Perceptions vary.
An idea trail tracker
Start with your doubt in one corner and move from point to point, as if following a trail.
Did you gather enough evidence to clarify your doubt? If you let some time pass, do your perceptions change? Are there new possibilities now?
Does your brain prefer following a trail? In linear thinking, there can be forks in the road. How do you choose?
