It might not look it, but this modest little English verb tenses mind map took me absolutely ages to do!
The reason is that there was a whole host of things to pay attention to: the design and layout of the map itself; choosing useful grammatical examples; finding appropriate images and modifying them.
Last but far from least, I had to research and basically reinvent the best, clearest, simplest, most consistent and accuratest way of representing all the tenses using a couple of coloured arrows and a dot. Phew! Mind mapping friends: see what you think; English grammar gurus… be kind!Read more…

‘A black and white mind map? What have you been drinking, whisky?’ you might be asking yourself. ‘What a beautiful, original and… utterly useless idea.’

Be that as it may, this is my latest creation and I’ll now try to imagine some usefulness for it.Read more…
Everyone else seemed to have a mind mapping video up on YouTube and I was feeling a bit left out, so I thought I’d put my own mind map / iMindMap non-lesson, non-tutorial up there to flummox them all.

The sedentary lifestyle creeps up on you when your back’s turned. Convenience food on the run, one finger push-downs on a mouse button for sporting activity, and chronic sleep shortage, along with other assorted vices… it can’t be good.
The dangers of diabetes, heart problems and simply not being able to keep up with your kids any more become manifest.
So eventually, after countless fruitless attempts (and sometimes fruit-full, depending on which nutty regime I was following), I finally found a method that worked for me.
This is my story.

This will be an exceptional blog post. Not in the sense of amazing but of unusual. Beause, exceptionally, it’s all about me.
Actually, that’s not true, because I’ll take the opportunity to talk about mind map design (or lack of it!), but I was asked to provide an ‘iMindMap CV’ by ThinkBuzan to put on their site, and this is the result…

You could call it reinventing the wheel or you could say it’s bringing my own personal touch to this old chestnut.
