Word Lists are a great way to rapidly go through any words that come to mind when you're brainstorming a particular idea. There are many wordlist generators online.

Mind Maps are great when you're trying to get an exhaustive overview of everything you know about a particular topic. Afterward, you can identify any holes in your topic or decide to focus on a particular area.
