It's like playing Advent or Zork. I did once spend a week learning JCL on a mainframe and had nightmares of flying though multi-coloured COND double negatives.

I write notes as I go, sometimes they can be raw input for a blog post, usually they are a rambling record of wrong turns and dead ends. I outline, rather than mind map, though sometimes that helps too.
