A meandering mind…

Well, it was bound to come, my friend the mind map is back again. Not much to say on this really, I am very much an advocate of it’s use.

Mind Map

In particular since the days of yore I have used Freemind for my mind mapping needs, it was an application I had become used to when I used work on the PC so I was understandbly pleased to discover a format for Mac. I know there are better versions available but this one is free and it does everything I need it do, which is all that I ask.

It is as I said above, a tool for mapping the mind. The number of projects and presentations that I have planned and laid out with this tool are beyond count but I know that I have used it a lot. It’s such a very fluid way of exploring the knowledge in your own mind and the links between certain information and presenting and recording it in a way that is both reusable and easily accessible for others to make sense of. It’s a very coherent way of presenting what can often be in ones own mind a muddle of information and ideas, as well as perceived connections.

It’s one I recommend everyone to try. As it’s a wonderful way of ordering ideas and thoughts into a visual diagram that can be reused and easily corrected after study and new information found can be added on simply without the labors of similar handwritten equivalents.
