ProBlogger had a post called, Starting a New Blog? Start With a Mind Map. And it reminded me of a promise I made when we first started Home Office Warrior. I stated that I used a MindMap when we first started working on the idea of HOW and that I would publish it someday.
Well that day is today. Below is an image of the actually MindMap I used for HOW. I don’t believe I am giving away any secrets by doing so. In fact, when we are doing blogs for other individuals or businesses, we still do a MindMap. It is just a great way to put your thoughts down on paper. Or in my case, my computer. I use Mindjet and their product MindManger 7 Mac. It is wonderful.
Here is my Map:
I’m glad you wrote about this with links. I’ve heard others use it quite effectively and I would like to give it a whirl…a visual mapping of a project is a great idea. Thanks.
Many of us ‘mindmap,’ just not in this formal, visual sense. Outlines, notes on paper, even ‘lists’ can be a form of mindmapping. As a journalist and corporate copywriter, all my work has a ‘map’ of some sort. But this is very cool, very visual and - judging by how HOW looks - very effective. Thanks for the insight…
