Mind Maps are diagrams that work the way you think. 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.

"This is a must have"

Well - I do not want to duplicate the - true - statements in the other testimonials, just one thing should tell it all: NovaMind set a personal record for me. That is: first shareware ever purchased within 1 hour after downloading the trial version.

After moving from Win XP back to Mac OS (after moving in the opposite direction 5 years ago) the only application I was really missing was Mind Manager and for a while I was afraid I would have to live with outlining tools such as OmniOutliner or Notebook (which are both very good products I do recommend if outlining is what you want to do). But outlining tools do not offer the amount of assistance and visual clarity in developing complex concepts, while being an enormous time saver in being a development, presentation and marketing tool at the same time.

Honestly, I have been involved in several large-scale international consulting projects and the difference between showing decision makers an outline (or presentation) and allowing them to actually "feel" how much effort and thought went into creating "their" solution by presenting a Mind Map is enormous and priceless.

NovaMind offers exactly that while even being easier to use than the Windows counter part. Add to that the reasonable pricing and (compared to many other current Mac OS X apps) broad import/export capabilities... (cannot even think of words to describe my happiness finding out how well the Mind Manager import works having more than 1700 of them at hand) this is a must have. Love it.
