Question: What Are Mindmaps?

I’ve been getting a number of questions lately regarding mindmaps. Many people want to know what they are. After they know that, they want to know what mindmaps can do for them.

For me, mindmaps are tools to get a different perspective on your information. Because you get a different perspective/view on the information, you get new insights and better understanding.

I look forward to your answers and to reading your insights.

So the problem isn’t with details you may or may not miss in the final result/mindmap. Read more
