If you’ve heard of mind maps, you’ve probably also heard of Tony Buzan, the creator of modern mind mapping as we know it today.
I’d long been a fan of Tony’s, every since my parents gave me his ground-breaking Use Your Head book as a kid back in the 1970s (yes, I’m that old!) to help me with my school work. And it did!
I loved his colourful and inventive spidery mind map creations and I loved even more the way they helped me learn more, faster in an enjoyable, motivating way. So I recently decided to see what he was up to online.
Very quickly I discovered Tony Buzan’s innovative mind mapping software marketed through his company, ThinkBuzan. I decided to download the iMindMap 9 Mind Mapping Software in its free trial version. At that moment I didn’t have the slightest idea what a profound effect it would have. On my professional activities, for sure, but on my personal life too.
I don’t work for ThinkBuzan, the creators of iMindMap, and I value my independence. Nor do I promote products from any other company.
However, when I researched the various mind mapping packages available, as soon as I discovered the iMindMap 9 software, my quest ended, I adopted it wholeheartedly, and got down to productive activities straight away.
The pure pleasure to be had from letting the ideas fly and capturing them instantly in a format the brain loves through iMindMap 9 was priceless.
The ability (and permission!) to use colours, images, free-flowing forms and an open-ended structure was a joy. No more long, boring, uninspiring lists for me!
Not only that, but for the serious business of ‘business’ and the professional world, iMindMap 9 does seriously well. With amazing style and flexibility. It’s in a category of one as far as I’m concerned. You can check it out here if you like:
You and your team can let your thoughts flow freely and, once recorded, immediately export them to Word documents, extremely slick animated PowerPoint presentations, a large variety of image formats and more.
Not to mention the excellent new unfettered brainstorming mode (like post-its on a cork board) in the latest version of the software.
Everything is seamlessly integrated and you can flip from one mode to another (brainstorming, mind mapping, presentations, or even boring old structured lists -yes!) at the click of a button.
And let’s not forget the slick mobile app and the cloud sharing features. So you and your collaborators can access and update your precious documents whenever and wherever you are. Pretty darn good if you ask me, and it just keeps getting better, year after year.
There are literally hundreds of ways mind maps and the revolution they bring can help you in your daily life.
From studying to holiday planning to budgeting to weight-loss to dreaming – the possibilities are as endless as your imagination is huge.
Every week on Mind Map Mad I focus on new ways of using the power of mind maps in every area of life. Indeed, I rely on mind maps to help me decide what topics to cover next!
One of the key disciplines is knowing when to stop brainstorming and start getting down to work. And yes, there’s a mind map for that too…
