When my Someday/Maybe list got too long. I reviewed it and moved almost all the items to a mindmap (of course I deleted quite a few items too). I didn't move actions which I must do in the next few weeks.

Moving them to a mindmap helped me get a better perspective.

I could see where different items were:
  • duplicated
  • related
  • steps towards the same goal
  • actions in the same (potential) project
  • ideas for the same (potential) project
  • subsidiary to a higher level goal, project or idea

Then hiding some of this detail made it a lot easier to review this Someday/Maybe Mindmap.

I could choose to expand a section if I really wanted to. I could highlight nodes in bold if I really wanted to make progress on that item and move it to my project list as soon as possible.
