I recently discovered XMind, a free mind mapping software that lets me type my thoughts in a stream-of-consciousness flow of ideas, punch the "tab" and "enter" keys and construct organic flowcharts of interrelated ideas. This could just as easily be done on a whiteboard, but I'm pretty sloppy, so typing works better.Check it out. It will help you think better and work smarter.

Seriously, I'm not sure if I want to know where my map would lead. I'm not sure anyone would. Except maybe my wife...
Is this a set up!?
Hey got it, but still trying to figure it all out. What were some maybe simple things you did to help yourself use it and get use to it?
Andy, the key thing that I do is use my TAB and RETURN to navigate quickly and make new branches and sub-branches. I don't worry about how clean it looks, just try to follow the paths of my mind. I can always clean it up later. Some people recommend only putting one word on each branch/subbranch.
