#### Five Models for Making Sense of Complex Systems: [Christina Wodtke](https://medium.com/@cwodtke/five-models-for-making-sense-of-complex-systems-134be897b6b3):&#x20;

* Mind Maps, to gather your thoughts
* Concept Maps, to organize your understanding
* System Maps, to map the system (a tautology, but an accurate one)
* Mental Models, to understand and communicate your user’s understanding
* Concept models, to message a way to think about a complex system
