Fibonacci Spirals

What systems or patterns do you find helpful when you are trying to structure your thoughts?

Literally
A sequence of numbers where each subsequent number is there sum of the two preceding ones. The sequence begins like this: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34 and continues infinitely.

Concopially
Once you have been awed by the recurring pattterns of the world it is impossible not to notice how those same spirals occur in sunflower seeds, snail shells, ferns and the golden ration of art. The Fibonacci sequence is also said to point out the perfect number of people in a team, at a dinner party or even in the old Roman legions. The Danish poet Inger Christensen even wrote an amazing poem where the metrics closely follow the Fibonacci sequence. In small ways these sequences show us how everything is connected, and thinking in patterns can greatly boost your creativity.
