These last weeks, I’ve seen many people visit the website who asked questions about this thing called mind mapping and mindmaps. Many people wanted to know more about the basics of them. Especially for these people, I wrote this article. If you are already an experienced mindmap user, please add your thoughts to this special article as well. We can all learn from you and your best practices.

Most people are visual thinkers. They need to see something before they understand or believe it. This can be seeing something in real life or seeing it with your minds eye.
Unfortunately, what often happens is that people think they know what happens and move forward using their own perspective or feelings. Although this is something that helps us often, there are occasions in which we need a more conscious and objective overview.
This is where the mindmap steps in.

I train people in mind mapping and visual thinking for many years. I always advice my students to share their mindmaps with others. When you have other people review your maps, they will provide you with a lot of valuable feedback.
Most of the people who do regular offline training don’t bother about getting feedback. I have no idea why this is. My guess is that they either don’t use mind mapping that much anymore or they only create personal maps.
Either way, I believe they should share a map with a colleague or friend. It will help them increase their mapping skills.

Mind Mapping… for some people it is a method for getting in their creative state of mind.
Most other people simply want to create overviews of information.
What I’ve seen is that many people try to create a really good picture. It has to be stimulating for their brain. After all, isn’t that what a mindmap should do: Create a picture of information which is easy for your brain to work with

More and more people are facing difficult times because of a global money meltdown. Many people lose their jobs or have to find another job to earn enough money. So I thought it might be interesting to share my thoughts on using a mindmap to find and get a new job.
Fortunately you know how to create a mindmap already. Use this skill to get that new job you are looking for.
Something that helps you in getting your new job is your ability to manage huge amounts of information. You have to create overview and structure in your own personal and business information… TODAY!

I would like to take ‘unleashing your mindmaps’ one step further today. In a new series of articles, I will explore the way we can use the knowledge we have of mind mapping to improve our understanding and to create mental mindmaps.
For some hardcore (technical/traditional) mindmappers, today may be one step too far right now 
. In the end it will all make sense. For the rest of y’all: read it and use it to your advantage. It is the concept which is important.
Perhaps visual mapping in this context is not the correct term to use. Once you start to think beyond the mind/visual mapping techniques, you will see there is a much bigger world. I believe this world shows us how all the data in the world is connected to and with each other.
