 After more days of notebook content gathering, a bigger amount of post-its allowed to **define sub-categories** to the first basic classification scheme. Some categories where restructured when balance in the content would change with the growing number of post-its.

+As more post-its were added to the wall, **further sub-categories** where created, some **specific contents** were highlighted by being put on post-its with different colors. The final result of the post-it classification looked like the following picture - where you can only see the classification of the Metabolhomics category.

+Post-its have mainly been used as precursors of mindmaps. Post-its are quite handy because they - theoretically - can be re-positionned several times and still stick to the surface. When dealing with large amounts of content to classify, I think that post-its are handy for three reasons:
+  - You get physical with your ideas
+  - You are able to do and undo classification schemes in very intuitive and quick way
+  - You can keep an holoptic view more easily with a big wall than with a small screen
+However, as you do not want to archive your wall forever with the right classification, I have then switched to mindmaps.
+===Mindmaps===
+Thanks to the freeware version of [[http://www.xmind.net/|XMind]], I obtained compact and readable mindmaps out of my quickly-handwritten-and-unsticky-anymore-post-its.
+I kept almost exactly the same organization than on my wall, and obtained, for instance, the two following maps:
+  * Practices{{:michka:practices_december.pdf|}}
+  * Metabolhomics{{:michka:metabolhomics.pdf|}}
+The content may look a bit cryptic to you, but I promise I can understand myself better than with the post-its :)
