Now when you have the Structure of the Book in Miro and Added all materials to a Brainstorming Board, we can distribute the materials to chapters just like Chat GPT recommends.

The work we have done in Miro is preparation to this exercise. It allows us to envision which chapters are overloaded and with materials, which chapters are empty, which materials are missing. When you will see how I have distributed my materials you will understand why do we needed.

Conclusion: we need mapping to see where the materials are not enough and where they are concentrated in one chapter. Later we will use this mapping to work on our Chapters.

If you feel like this work is a little bit intimidating and overwhelming, I believe my experience, that I am going to share with you now, should help.

I postponed this work for a couple of days because it felt intimidating. I was thinking that since I was supposed to decide where the materials had go, into which chapters, I was deciding how my book will be at the end. So, it felt like it was an important decision to make. And this realization added to cognitive load and I had stuck.

I was worried about few things to ensure the decision was right:

• Was the material suitable for the chapter?
• Did the material come from respectable source I could refer to in my book?
• Did the material I added deluded the essence of the book and took the attention away from the topic?
• If the materials were repeating, what book chapter would I choose for them then?

Many questions and they can make it impossible just to make a simple job to just sit and distribute all materials in few hours. Therefore, here are my recommendations so that you don’t get into the same trap.

1. You are not deciding on where materials will go, you only map what ChatGPT recommended.
2. The materials added to the chapter are not guaranteed to remain there. In the next steps of the work, you might decide that you can’t integrate the material in particular chapter, or that this material will suit another chapter.
3. Duplicated materials can still be integrated into different chapters if they are shown from different perspectives. It is ok to have one material mapped to 3 chapters, for example. The question is how you will use them.

We are simply preparing the mapping and exploring possibilities.

That is why, to avoid being trapped in such tasks you have to learn to switch between work modes. Which mode are you going to work in? Write in comments if you know.

Note: The only materials you have to decide upon, are those that don’t have ChatGPT recommendations (like quotes and proverbs). In this case I recommend to leave them in the brainstorming boars until you will know where to use them. If you have an idea immediately map it, if not, leave the unassigned material in the brainstorming board.

Conclusion: In this video you have seen and understood how to map the materials in Miro. You understood how to work to avoid getting frozen by heavy decisions.

Now your task is to map the materials to the chapters using ChatGPT recommendations.

§  What’s next:

In the Chat where you have recommended materials you also have the reference links to the sources of the information. We need to understand what are those sources. In the next videos I will show you how to understand which sources are reliable, and I will show you how I organized my references to that you can see what sources ChatGPT provides us with.
