Topic 1 - Thinking in pictures

Key Concept No. 1

This first concept describes the way that APT uses boxes to represent ideas and other forms of thinking. 

To use this concept, you simply draw a box and write a few words in the box. 

These words either name the essence of an idea or describe it in some way. 

If you understand the concept you are thinking about, your descriptions may be very clear. However if your thinking is fuzzy, your box names or descriptions may be general or even vague. This is not a problem.

As we progress through the process steps, you will see that there is a system to translate fuzzy thinking into clear organised thinking.
