Tip #81: Map it!
June 16, 2008 – 11:24 am
Ever sit in a meeting or brainstorming session and wonder how you were going to make your random notes into an outline encompassing all the aspects of your plan and turn it into something that works with the way you think? If you haven’t tried mind mapping yet, there’s no time like the present!
If you’re new to the concept, start here with Lifehacker’s Beginner’s Guide to Mind Mapping Meetings. There are also two handy mind mapping tools on the web. MindMeister can process your email into mind maps, and has lots of nifty options for attaching task information, notes and more. Text2MindMap is a web-based tool that turns your input into a down-loadable image (like the mind map with this post, click for larger version) you can use in lots of ways to share and follow the plan.
