I could not live without mind maps.

Hobie Swan from MindJet Software kicked off this morning’s Gnomedex with a demo of Mind Manager, a really cool mind mapping application. He demoed the software on a tablet PC, which is exactly how it should be used, because it enables quick gestures to add and organize the mind map, as well as drawings that can be added to the mind map directly. …

For those not familiar with mind maps, they are a visual technique for generating ideas and enhancing creativity. Developed by Tony Buzan, mind maps are great for brainstorming because they take advantage of the “right brain” creativity by using non-linear ideas, and graphics and drawings. When you write a text-only, top-down outline, your brain is in logical “left brain” mode. Opening up your idea generation to allow ideas to sprout in any direction, and to feel free to add color and drawings gets your creative juices flowing.

Check out this useful review of Mind Mapping: The Student Tablet PC: Mind Mapping Overview

I have been putting off writing this article for a while. Why? Well MindManager is my most used program. I use it for almost everything I do on my tablet. It’s my ubiquitous tool. I do my lecture notes on it, I study from it, I create study guides, I outline my essays with it, I even create simple to-do lists on it. MindManager is my ultimate tool, and I don’t know if I can properly relate everything about it, but I will try. I will begin with an introduction to mindmapping and follow up shortly with a post devoted solely to MindManager. With that said, let us dwell into the subject of mindmapping…

I use MindManager at work and at home to organize ideas (brainstorming) and tasks. I have used it to develop a HTML-based user interface for a project that was delivered on a DVD.

So, what is mindmapping?

Mindmapping is a powerful, visual method of collecting and presenting information. Relationships between ideas are clearly visible with a mindmap as opposed to an outline. The central topic is the subject of the mindmap; all the supporting ideas circle around it. In MindManager there are three levels of topics. The central topic is the title of the map and rests in the center of the document. Main topics are the next level from the central topic. Branching off the main topics are subtopics. Subtopics can have an unlimited number of subtopics coming off of them. There are also floating topics and call-out topics, but you don’t need to worry about them now.

When you read a mindmap it is traditional to start at the 1 o’clock topic and work your way clockwise. Most maps are designed this way. This should give you a starting point on the first few maps you look at, which are bound to be a bit daunting.
