If you are stuck while writing or revising a section of your presentation get out that old pencil or pen, write down the main idea in the centre of a big piece of paper and start clustering.
Remember, this is the technique developed by Dr. Gabriele Rico when she was putting together her course on Writing the Natural Way.
All you do is right that main idea in the centre of that paper, draw a circle around and start writing down what ideas or images, etc come to mind. Write these down in satellite circles around the main point and connect them to that central idea with a line, much like the string on a balloon.
This is a great way to liberate your thinking and see what other ideas you can think of. It is much like free writing, except you write only only the main points and capture them in those balloons -- connected to the main idea with that line and to any supporting ideas or thoughts radiating out from the first idea you captured on more lines and balloons.
