MINDNODE ICLOUD FULL

It's great, because seeing that, visualizing the imminent failure of such a plan due to the sheer volume of work on top of my full time job, keeps me from trying to do it and burning out. I've laid out content calendars that, once visualized, are completely unrealistic. If I have an idea for a podcast, I can see how many ideas or topics I can pull out of it, or if the content would dry up fast.

I've laid out writing projects, blog and video ideas, business ideas – the format is insanely fun to use and seems to spur more ideas than typical brainstorming. I've turned a few friends on to it, and one especially has said it changed how she approaches everything now – it's given her a new way to think. I've been a part of the MindNode community for years – but started really diving in more the last year or so since getting an iPad. I can also re-organize and align things later, and it becomes a working document. It lets me bring order to the chaos after expressing all the gargantuan ideas pressing to get out. It allows me to think creatively, in an organized fashion. I couldn't get into mind mapping by hand because it felt I'd need an infinite amount of paper and it was so messy! I'm such a visual person, and the chaos on the page of a handwritten mind map did not do for me what MindNode does. My brain is wonderful because it connects disparate ideas and combines them into new ones, but it does that all the time – so having a literal web of ideas that I can jump around in lets my mind feel calm – not only is everything written down like a brain dump, but I can riff on any part, expanding it out, and not loose sight of everything it's attached to. It helps me see the feasibility of projects or scheduling and it helps me stay on track. Mind mapping takes alllll of that and lets me get as detailed as I want while retaining the big picture.
