Mind Map – is a wonderful online
tool to help you get your ideas, focus or goals out of your mind and onto paper
in a logical way. Using a simple theory,
to write down your main goal and then use branches to record your lesser
important tasks, and continue to branch off of these stems to lessor
tasks. Mapping out the concept of your
goals and thoughts on what you are thinking and how you would like to complete
your task.
I have used this idea when
mapping out my plans to complete undergraduate school. Listing school as the main idea and branching
off to the different classes I wanted to take, resources required, dates of
completions, study material, books that I need to purchase, vacation and business
trips that would affect my time.
This tool allowed me to see what
was expected for this goal and I was able to continue to add to the mapping to
help me organize and streamline this goal.
This is a wonderful tool to use to help with problem solving and organizing
your thoughts.
Thanks for providing information on this. I was looking for a tool to help with project management. I use Microsoft Project but it's too linear and not freeform.
ReplyDeleteCarla you are most welcome, it's a great tool to use!
DeleteWhat an interesting concept and one that I definitely will be looking into for help with future planning on a personal and professional level. With all the various commitments in life, it could benefit not only me, but my family as well.
ReplyDeleteI have used this tool with both large and small business projects. As well as personal use, planning a trip, school, housework it has many applications to simply help you see what you've been thinking.
DeleteI have used this concept a few times, and I love the idea of it. It's simply and a great way to see my thoughts in front of me. Adding graphics and pictures is a great way to convey your thoughts, when using mind mapping

ReplyDeleteToday I was able to use mind map to help with one of my current projects. I am organizing my projects before I start to hand over tasks to start production. I decided to record all of the documents, recording the process and all of the documentation needed to pass. This is a great tool.
