Mind Manager

Stuck writing that presentation or report? Maybe you’re procrastinating, and feeling guilty about it.

Here’s a tip - use a mind map.

Mind maps use both your left brain logical side, and your right brain creative side: they’re fun. As you doodle your map, you’ll get new ideas and will make new connections. Before you know it, your presentation or report will write itself.

I’ve been a copywriter and author for many years. Whenever I start a new project, I create a mind map. I’ve been known to create mind maps on paper napkins, the back of receipts, index cards and on sticky notes. I also use Mind Manager, a great software tool.

A mind map frees you, because there’s no way you can do a mind map “wrong.”

In addition to kickstarting business writing chores, a mind map also lets you edit more effectively after you’ve written: it lets you see where you’re missing information, and what information you can use as an introduction, the body of the piece, and in the conclusion.

Mind mapping is a great skill - it will make you more productive, more creative, and will ensure that you look forward to writing tasks you used to dread.

Go on - try mind mapping a project that’s currently got you stumped. You’ll be amazed and thrilled at the effect.
