They make it easy to understand, remember, and communicate complex information. These days we are bombarded with so much information that it can be difficult to make sense of it all, and we suffer from information overload and overwhelm, which reduces our effectiveness. Some of the problems we face are: * inability to solve problems effectively, * lack of creative thought, * lack of focus, * difficulty giving great presentations, * problems organizing your thoughts, * poor communication, * missing out tasks when planning projects, * forgetting important information, and * lack of clarity and direction. If you have suffered from any of these problems, Mind Mapping is for you. Mind Mapping gives you clarity and allows you to: * organize your thoughts, * remember information, * communicate better, * solve problems quickly and effortlessly, * brainstorm new ideas, * increase productivity by 20% or more, * see the important issues, * make better decisions, and * give compelling presentations. Why does Mind Mapping work? Mind Maps organize the information in the same way your brain organizes information. This makes it very natural and easy to understand. Our brains like thinking in pictures. The smooth curves and colorful pictures that are created when Mind Mapping create powerful images for your brain to remember. We have two halves to our brains which think in different ways. The left half thinks linearly following direct linkages to related ideas. Our right brain likes to see the whole picture with colors and flow. Mind Maps cater to both sides of the brain at the same time, which makes them a very good way of storing and recalling information, presenting things to other people, and brainstorming new ideas.

"An excellent product that became my assistant"

About 6 months ago I tried few mind mapping products. None was as intuitive, easy to use and feature rich. It has since improved. Now I use it for every project I have, from the strategic level, to building competitive analysis, building web sites, starting business plans etc.

The company is very easy to work with. Extremely responsive. The flexibility with different languagues is very helpful. This is the way every software vendor whould be. Highly recommended for everybody who does not do a routine, competitive job but needs to put the brain to work.

Mindmapping on Vista - with the Ribbon GUI!

Published January 23rd, 2007 in .NET, Technology blog

I am a big fan of mindmapping and a regular user of Mind Manager X5 pro when I was running XP on my system. However, X5 Pro is not compatible with running on Vista. Looking at other mindmap programs revealed a couple of free ones however both required Java (Freemind & Compedium). I have never been very comfortable with Java.

Then I came across Novamind. Not one that I had ever looked at before. Net 2.0 based, lovely GUI and the Ribbon!

Downloading and istalling the 30 day trial was painless (except for the now familiar Vista UAC dialogues). A day after I had installed an update was released, the program notified me of this on launch and offered to download the update and install it. 2 clicks and it was updated to the new version. This was also pretty impressive.

The program has a mind map tutor with step by step tutorial building up to a complex mindmap with all the bells and whistles.

I am very impressed so far. Novamind lends itself to both quick and simple note-taking and brain storming mindmaps as well as complicated maps with graphical background, icons and attached documents/resources. I think I have found my replacement to Mind Manager.
