It is a core tool for me. If you use a Mac and a PC and have MindManager on both systems, I recommend using Dropbox to getting your MindMaps on both platforms and in sync. You can’t edit a MindMap at the same time on both platforms but otherwise it works well.

I’d like to recommand a goal setting tool at http://www.GoalsOnTrack.com, a very nicely built web app designed for tracking goals and todo lists, and supports time tracking too. It’s clear, focused, easy to navigate, worth a try.

We have some really excellent GTD Mind Maps in our mind map library at http://www.biggerplate.com

All maps can be viewed and downloaded for free so if you find the map approach useful, you may find a map or map template which can help you put this approach into practice more effectively.

Best wishes

Thanks for your kind words. Hope you started your “my world” mindmap. Trust me, you’ll start thinking about your life in a whole new way.

Wow, you can actually add tasks directly from Mindmanager! That’s really something. The fact that Mindjet is ignoring the Mac version of Mindmanager is one of the few times that I regret having a Mac

So glad to hear that you liked the post. I believe David mentioned it in the teleseminar titled, “Productivity Potpourri”. It’s available at Connect. He didn’t really detail it out, just mentioned it as a stray comment. But then he shared an outline of his mindmap at the GTD Connect Forums.

As far as GTD, my favorite right now is Outlook Track-it, this plugin for outlook that lets you flag emails for followup reminders. Just thought I’d share!

It is compelling. Then recently one of my clients was into thinking he was “lazy” or not doing enough. I started making a mindmap of his world as I see it, as he has described it to me. He was stunned (and pleased) to see it –it dispelled his fear that he was not getting enough done, demonstrated the many areas for which he carried top responsibility. I sent it off to him to revise constantly as I revise mine.

I have also done this for students who are overwhelmed by the enormity of writing a dissertation. It graphically breaks everything up into phases, and these break down into areas or steps in a large process, and these in turn break into many Next Actions. This has been highly comforting to students, who then go on to use the methodology themselves.

Thanks for the post!

The two are then kept in sync automaticly. This is great as it avoid the double of handling of information between the mind map and the GTD lists in outlook.

It seems to me I would use this most in two ways:
1) in the Weekly Review, to ensure I had all aspects of my life covered in the mind sweep, etc., and
2) to be able to visualize in a simple and intuitive way the meta-version of everything that requires my attention
