Did you hear that some people tell you that you can save an hour each day simply by mind mapping your thoughts and ideas?
I wonder if the only reason for this is them creating a mindmap. An hour a day is a lot of extra time!
Sure, by using a mindmap you will be more organized. You can create a nice planning and know when to do what. Still… an hour each day is a lot of time for people like you and I. (I mean people who are already enjoying an above average level of productivity 
).

These last couple of months, I received many mindmaps from people. The interesting question I received from most people is how they could improve their mindmaps.
Usually, the mindmaps can be improved easily. You are talking about words and colors used, alignment of branches, images shown in the map… those kind of things.
Asking someone else to have a look at your own personal mindmap is often difficult. After all, we are talking about a personal piece of work. This is probably not something you want to share with others.

Many people here in The Netherlands are going back to their jobs and schools. A perfect time to take what you thought about this holiday and put it in a mindmap.
Your mindmap can be a wonderful tool to actually SEE what you do and have and who you are. I would suggest you create a mindmap that shows you… well… YOU!

Before your weekend starts, I want to give you something to think about.
This is something that helps the more professional mindmap creator probably more than the beginners in mind mapping.
In fact… this is one of the human traits that limits the effect of mindmaps… a lot!

All day long, we are interacting with data and we are producing it. Most of the data is received without our conscious mind playing an active role in this. People usually think they are in control (most of the time) and they are making the decisions (most of the time). Fortunately, we are not.
The reason I write fortunately is because you don’t want to take part in making all the decisions. Can you imagine for example that you have to make the decision to breath, swallow,close your eyes when something almost hits it?

Information is around us in abundance.
Today I want to make you aware of something very basic yet forgotten by most people who mindmap. Imagine your brain is like the Internet. Of course the brain is much more complex and capable of doing much more. Still, the resemblance is good enough now.
The interesting idea of connecting information using a web based system was created by Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee. He wanted to give researchers the opportunity to connect information using hyperlinks. [click to continue…]
