At this time of year lots of people are busy creating new years resolutions or goals for the coming year or beyond. It is a good time to do some reflection and think about your future. Many people make lists of their goals or even the infamous bucket lists, but I am a big fan of the more visual method of mind mapping.
Mind maps have helped me get my thoughts down and more easily and visualise whatever I am trying to brainstorm. Usually I have made these with paper and pen as you can make them nice and colorful and really enjoy the experience.
Recently I have discovered a good tool by Ayoa (not an affiliate link) that is pretty good for creating mind maps on your computer. There was previously a free to use version but now there is just a 7 day free trial that I took advantage of.
I think the mind maps look really nice in this tool and you can create them very quickly and adjust them as needed. Sometimes it is not always practical to use a pen and paper and you can store these quite easily as a screenshot or pdf.
How to create a Mind Map
Once you have registered on the site, the first thing to do is click on create new.
This will then give you the options to create a new Mind Map.
I then click on create blank speed map, but you can create any type that you want.
You can also customise the shapes that you use.
You can click in the middle and type the theme for your mind map.
Click on the green plus sign gives you the chance to create a new branch. Here I have entered Investing as my sub-topic.
You can then create as many different branches and sub.topics as you like. You can also manually adjust the locations and shapes quite easily.
Here I created an organic mind map for the different Hive tokens. It is an easier way to keep track of things. You can then also categorise them how you would like and add branches on with any important information that you would like to know about the subject or branch.
In this example, I went for a more standard layout. You can chose the option that suits you the most visually or for a particular subject.
Are you using or creating any mind maps?
Let me know in the comments.
Thanks for reading.

This looks like a great tool! I keep forgetting that a lot of things can be done online these days, and always look for apps to download to the computer.
It is very handy. Usually I prefer pen and paper, but this one was very handy. !ALIVE !LUV

This is also helpful for students. I remember back then, I used to help this lady at home in making their school essays. We start with mind mapping before writing the story.

I love a good mind map, I use simple mind on the ipad very cheap and works great.
What is DreemPort?
Dreemport is the writing/curation portal where people read and submit articles for curation. It is cross-platform but most articles are on Hive along with the token.

OK looks interesting, cheers!
No problem. 😎
That's cool. We used to use at job Mindmapper.com. But is not free. Here I find some free https://thedigitalprojectmanager.com/tools/best-free-mind-mapping-software/
btw: canva is on the list, too.

That's pretty cool. I have been messing around with Visio a bit lately. I did some upgrades on my network and I need to make a new map of my infrastructure. I'm still waiting to get some final pieces to complete it.
The truth is an interesting tool, I prefer mental maps to have them in my mind.

Seems to be a great tool. How sad there's no free version.
I should work with mindmaps but I don't. And when I do it's the old pen&paper version that tends to get very messy... Gotta have a look for a good free tool soon or my organization level will stagnate.

They are very handy for planning and brain storming. !LUV

Helps with doing a story outline and character background as well.
Definitely should use them more often, maybe then I'd get some progress on my storylines as well.

Great walk-through Steve! On Linux there are several quite good free mindmap applications. I've fiddled with mindmaps before, but I've never used them in any thorough manner. I'm very visual too, so it would likely help me organize my desires, intentions, and goals! Maybe I'll revisit the idea! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙 👍
Nice one, I didn't know that Linux had a few options. I really like mind mapping. !LUV

Yep, indeed! I looked into various mindmap applications on Linux a while ago. There were maybe half a dozen. I see why you do, which is making me think I should revisit them! Have a fantastic Sunday, Steve! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Wow, this is a great reference and I learned a lot and realize how much more I've yet to learn. I see you answered one of my questions (Dreemport) and I've reblogged. I'll save this for future reference. Have a great day!
