Sometimes a document, spreadsheet, or presentation just isn’t the right tool to help me wrap my mind around an idea or concept. Introducing mind mapping.
Mind mapping isn’t new, but there have been a lot of free tools introduced lately to help make the process easier. MindMeister (affiliate linke) is the tool I’ve been using a lot lately; both for my business as well as my clients. Since I started using it about 12 months ago, I see that I’ve created 45 unique maps, mostly for clients. That’s about four maps / month.
Before we pulled Past Due Radio off the air at the end of 2009, I created a map that allowed me to see all the uses a studio in my office would provide me. That directly affected our marketing and our bottom line.
I use the service to map out directions for my clients businesses. It’s easy to lay out ideas and then map out similarities to find the best fits. Here’s a recent one for Ben.
I’m confident there’s 100 more uses for mind mapping. Share your top use here with a comment.
