Great article. I also use mindmaps to share my thinking / inspiration on projects and artworks in my newsletter, twitter feed etc.
Here’s one for a current project
They’re a great way to get across the ‘big picture’ of the thinking that goes into a work, a project etc.
And they help you to spot connections you might otherwise miss.

Hi Alyson,
I don’t know how I missed this one, but I’ve been teaching Mind Mapping for
years, ever since I wrote an article on super learning. I just came upon it in your list today and thought wow! One great thing about Mind Maps is that the brain reads the information on the circle all at once, instead of one item at a time, the way we read lists. So it’s a great tool for learning anything involving memorization, and it’s great as a structural tool for planning a piece of writing.
Thanks for reminding me of the other uses. There I am teaching the method, and I could be using it to plan my next show, next painting and so on.
Fabulous.
XOXOXOXO Barbara

Mind mapping is an interesting way of putting your thoughts together, it helps to see a project from more than one view.

Wonderful post Alyson! I really like Inspiration software for mindmapping. They have a rapid fire button for fast idea capture. And then you can fuss with it to make it pretty.

Yes. And sadly my white board (on wall) has been empty far too long.
