Mindjet, maker of MindManager 8, recently updated their website. On the new site they provide the best definition of mindmapping I’ve ever read.
They define mindmapping this way:
“A mind map uses visual thinking to create an organized display of the plan, problem, or project—a diagram that mirrors the way our brains naturally processes information. Information and tasks radiate out from a central theme or goal, rather than falling below a header, as in a list. Related items link with connecting lines. New items can be captured randomly and then organized into the larger scheme, with new ideas flowing naturally as the map gains detail. Information can be illustrated with symbols, words, color, images, links, and attachments to add context, helping to reveal new directions, greater clarity, and big ideas.”
That my friends sums up mindmapping.

This is great! As someone relatively new to the idea of Mindmapping, I am excited about the possibilities this can have in my world! This post helped me to better “visualize” if you will, how Mindmapping functions as a powerful, thought and creativity organizing tool. And the fact that the Mindmapping process “mirrors” how the brain interprets information, makes the flow (and organization I imagine) of ideas a lot clearer! Great stuff!
Thanks for the wonderful comment Chris! I look forward to us working together to explore all the wonderful things mindmapping can do! Talk to you soon. –Chance
