Free Goals - Because / While / By

This mind map template is a comprehensive tool for deeply analyzing and deconstructing a central "GOAL" by exploring its underlying assumptions, conditions, and methods. Starting from the central purple "GOAL" node, it branches out into two primary pathways: "WHILE/WITHOUT" (light blue) and "BY" (pink), each representing different dimensions of goal exploration.

The "WHILE/WITHOUT" branches further explore conditions, leading to secondary branches that ask "BECAUSE" (orange) and then detail "WE KNOW" (light blue) and "WE ASSUME" (orange) elements. This structure encourages a thorough examination of both known facts and underlying assumptions related to the goal's context.

Similarly, the "BY" branches delve into the methods or means of achieving the goal. These also lead to "BECAUSE" (orange) sub-branches, which then prompt users to articulate what "WE KNOW" (light blue) and "WE ASSUME" (orange) about the effectiveness of these methods. The repeated structure of "BECAUSE," "WE KNOW," and "WE ASSUME" at multiple levels of the mind map ensures a rigorous, evidence-based, and assumption-aware approach to goal planning. This visual framework is ideal for complex goals, enabling teams or individuals to map out logical dependencies, identify potential risks, and build a robust strategy based on a clear understanding of all contributing factors.
