I’ve tried several desktop applications that would allow me to quickly and effectively jot down my thoughts into a cohesive appearance. To solve this problem, I was recommended mind-mapping software both on mobile and desktop. What is mind-mapping? Mind-mapping or concept-mapping is a technique used to create diagrams of the relationships between concepts, ideas and other useful information such as to-dos and task lists. It has been proven that mind-mapping software can improve studying/learning efficiency up to 15% over traditional note-taking.
There are several mind-mapping software in freeware and shareware. The most common freeware mind-mapping is FreeMind. I am using Freemind to map my personal and business branding ideas and concepts. Although FreeMind cannot collaborate online, its files are compatible with most other mind-mapping software. It can even be used with mobile applications.
