I am a whiteboard nut. LifeChurch.tv was kind enough to “wallpaper” my office with 3 full walls of whiteboard wallpaper. It literally is roll on whitepaper wallpaper that really rocks! Sorry for the sidebar there…. As for the whiteboard, I am not really sure that I could live without one. I have come to realize now how my thinking process works, and a whiteboard is a huge part of how I process through ideas and turn ideas into reality. Let me try and put it into text here.
Step 1 for me: Think, process mentally and sketch onto journal paper, or plain white paper.
Step 2 for me: Next, flush out paper idea onto a whiteboard. (very abstract)
Step 3 for me: Process it more, make side notes… go crazy on the whiteboard.
Step 4 for me: Process it more, take more notes on the whiteboard, push the idea further and document it.
Step 5 for me: Bring others in (I grab innocent bystanders around my office) and cast the vision of the idea/project and take more notes.
Step 6 for me: Transpose whiteboard into Google Doc and flush out all details into a true scope or project document.
Step 7 for me: Print the Google Doc and tape it to the white board and then whiteboard around it all the stuff I forgot or missed.
Step 8 for me: Merge all the additional whiteboard ideas, etc into Google doc.
–> Now I have a complete project scope document, or a complete plan to execute/create something. <—–
I know, I am a total freak! I am aware of that, and after thirty some odd years I have come to terms with being a freak. What is really cool about this though, is I did not fully embrace how I process until recently. Now that I have a grasp of how my mind works and processes stuff I have found that I am much more creative and much better and getting things done!
Over the next few weeks I will share what this process looks like with pictures.
Hey Terry, Great Process…What would be cool is a youtube video with some parts in fast forward motion to show you in this process.
Terry – This is almost identical to my process. I’ve only got one large whiteboard, but everything starts out in my Moleskine or on a roll of tracing paper then migrates to the board.
I’ve never caught onto the google docs thing, but I use OmniOutliner to translate everything onto the computer.
Cool idea Jason… I might try that.
Matt, I so love the Moleskine. My brother tunred me on to the Moleskine a few years ago after learning about it from LifeHacker.
There is something about a whiteboard…
I like Jason’s idea re a YouTube video, time lapse would be a must…then merging into the scene of the chalkboard from Beautiful Mind

Hey Terry, hope your new gig is finding you well!
I also am a whiteboard freak. I’ve got a large whiteboard in my office too and use it every day. In my opinion, its greatest use is to get everyone on the team on the same page. So often we’ll all walk out of a mtg nodding our heads in agreement but really have 10 different ideas of what we just agreed on. Nothing like drawing it to get on the same page and talk the same language.

Re: Mark Howell’s suggestion…or merge it into a scene with Charlie Eppes from Numbers. Terry, if you’d like some collaboration via Google Docs…
please pics…i would love to see that office…though, I have seen some of your processes…it might look more like “A Beautiful Mind”
Your use of whiteboards at first inspired me and made me run out and buy one large one. But then I saw you commandeer an innocent up and coming employee’s white board. It was as if you couldn’t help yourself. There it wasy with unused space. And you went to town. In multiple colors. Ignoring his good penmanship and notes to self. Now I’m looking for a whiteboard intervention clinic to get you some help.
Bobby you are too funny! But you are also very truthful and calling me out on this one! Thank you for being honest. I will ask Zach to forgive me when he gets back in town and discovers his notes on this whiteboard are no longer…..
My name is Terry Storch and I have a problem….
Hey Terry – I love it! I have gone back and forth between the whiteboard and blank paper and just haven’t found a groove that consistently works for me. Maybe what I need to do is cover the walls and experiment… thanks for blogging again man!
Terry,
White boards; a great way to process thoughts and I think I will try that approach.
At present I have been working on my 1st blog which is beginning to take shape. I stumbled across the “blogging church” in a book store Sunday night and I have been working through my idea’s while I share with a small group within the congregation.
Please give me your thoughts
Your a blessing
Paul
Paul, I think the concept of your blog is GREAT! I am sure it is going to go over very well. My suggestion is be open with the people. Let them know what you forgot, what got “cut” from the message, etc. Make the blog the place for them to come to get the extras. Kinda like the extras on a DVD….
Love the concept, and look forward to seeing how it goes over.
Nice websire. Abundant online associate program. Thank you.

Treble grade of the medications we put up for sale is the discipline of our underlying concern. The logic is unequivocally elementary: the better the distinction of goods is, the more customers we have. Thus we are very intent and discriminating in the select of the supplier, the standing of goods is unreservedly tested and the documentation is closely checked. The medications are manufactured in India via an Indian claim licensed, Indian FDA approved company.
