The art of mind mapping
Attempting to map your mind usually leads to interesting insights. Sometimes it helps in organizing your thoughts, setting priorities, but surely it will provide a nice big picture of whats happening in there, And trust me its nothing more than nicely written bullet points.Okay on with it, Its not a good idea to map your entire mind at a single go, though I wonder what light it might shed. I use freemind for most of my work, but if you're willing to spend money mindjet has a good looking product. I generally pick something thats been bothering me for a while and use mind map to analyse it.
So today let me pick my computer, its littered with software , I've got no clue of what to get rid of (looks like I need everything). And this mind map is going to map my idea of what I use my computer for.
Step 1:
Identify what I use my machine for.
Now lets fill in what applications I use/need for the same, Starting to look good. Just need to remember that every applications must fit atleast one of the purposes that I've defined. here goes..
Thats a lot, and it sums up what I need for getting things done. Anything thats not on the picture needs to be claened up!. Thats not all, it also shows the number of things I'm trying to do on a computer, shows that I need more fresh air and excercise. Well you can draw your own conclusions...
