Working it out and making a plan

Now that the wedding and reception is over I am going to work on 3 things...
Saving money (for bills and babies!), develop my strengths and presence at my new job and lastly, start writing again.
I am working with a new exercise from the book I am reading: Techniques for Plot and Structure, to get the creative juices flowing. For anyone else who might be interested in developing some ideas here is the exercise.

Exercise:
Part I- Choose two ways to get ideas/brainstorm (i.e. write an opening line, write a prologue, create a mind map - use a concept or word and start mapping out every idea that is associated) and set aside 1 hour of writing time for each.
Part II- Pick the idea you like the best and give the idea a hook, line and sinker.
Part III- Apply Bell's pyramid: is there enough passion, potential and precision to make you want to continue?
