Today was about thinking. Not building.
Before you touch n8n or any automation platform, you need clarity. We spent the day mind mapping and brainstorming with a client.The goal is clear.Translate the full BITSING methodology from his book into an automated system. No workflows yet NO tools.Only structure. What we did today - Mapped the full methodology end to end ( only did 1 part of the process ) - Defined inputs, decisions, and outputs - Identified repeatable patterns - Removed steps that do not add value - Aligned logic before automation This step decides success or failure later. Automation without structure creates chaos.Mind mapping creates focus. Why this matters - You build faster - You avoid rework - Workflows stay simple - Logic stays explainable - Scaling becomes predictable What’s next - Turn maps into workflows - Translate logic into n8n flows - Build step by step - Test with real users The journey started today.We keep building through Christmas.Launch planned for Q1 2026. If you automate first and think later, you pay twice. What' s your proces ??
