Mind mapping, made easy

     After more than 20 years using mind map, I am still sticking to this as my priority tool whenever I need to do a lot of thinking. I also use this to 

    Benefit of mind map includes:

  • No particular format
  • Very easy to use, no special skills needed
  • No bombastic words needed
  • Uses what you have in your mind
  • Input what you have there and then
  • Can be of any priority
  • Can be of any topic
  • No restrictions

    Uses of mind mapping:

  • Note taking
  • Ideas taking
  • Presentation
  • Problem solving
  • Brain storming
  • Ideas searching
  •  etc

    There are just so many mind mapping tools nowadays in the electronics market. Below are the ones I used:

  • Tablet (Android OS): Simple Mind (https://simplemind.eu/)
  • Mobile phone (Android OS): (https://simplemind.eu/)
  • Laptop (Windows 10 OS, 64 bits): Free Mind (https://sourceforge.net/projects/freemind/)
  • Flowdia (https://www.bezapps.com/) This is the apps I used in my tablet & cellphone. But it does contain a simple to use mind map too. 

The thing I like about these tools are, they can be localized or cloud based. And they are able to produce the information to either in PDF, JPEG or even in text form. Therefore, it is easy for me to share with others, even though others do not have the particular mind map apps. 

    I have prepared so many mind maps. Please follow my blog. I will update samples of my mind maps whenever I can. 

    Appreciate your feedback & comments. 

Thanks for reading.


Best regards,

Ronald

Outstanding Program Manager - mind mapped




I spent quite some time on this one, but I believe it is worth it.


The only thing that I can tell you is that I prepared this mind map effortlessly. I don't have to crack my head to get all those information out.

In fact, I believe I have compressed almost every critical thing in this piece of paper on program management.


With this, I am in the middle of preparing my next e-book/e-course on program managers. I target that I will establish the complete Outstanding Program Manager Manual in 2 months' time. I haven't finalize the title of this e-book/e-course yet.


Please, give me some ideas on the title of this e-book/e-course, if you are willing to.


I am still adding more subtitles to this, but those available are the main ideas of becoming an outstanding program manager.




Mind Map sample on LTP (Long Term Plan)


This is a preparation that I drafted out for my long term plan, while I was in a new department in one of the largest Tier 1 EMS in China.

I completed this in less than 30 minutes' time.

This structure actually gave me a quick guideline on which are the areas to focus on in a new department very quickly. With the proper focus, I am able to pull the team and produce sound results very quickly.

Using only one color but different patterns, I am still able to have some "creativity" in the mind mapping graphic.
