mind mapping is pretty awesome

Did you make mind maps at school? I never quite got the process, or understood how they could help me, so avoided them like the plague whenever possible. But last weekend at a scouts training session we used mind maps, and now they've become my best friend!

In typical Apple fashion, there is an app for that! I use the SimpleMind app (someone shared a link, and I liked the look - but it's the only one I've tried, so if you've used any others, let me know) Now that I see my brainstorming ideas in front of me, I can see how mind mapping can be useful for everything from menu planning to writing blog posts. I'm going to keep playing with it, and see how many ideas I can come up with.

Do you mind map?
