Mindmapping is the process of drawing up diagrams that show relations between various ideas, tasks or information. Concept-mapping and mind-mapping are similar in the way it connects concepts / topics via graphs but with a difference. This article provides crisp information on Mindmapping and a free tool that aids you to map your thoughts.
How is it useful?
When you are part of brainstorming sessions, by drawing mind maps you actually visualize your tasks and how each task can influence each other in a better way, making your brain remember more easily and/or come up with new ideas.
Further if you are running short of time to make an appealing presentation, a quick MindMap can portray your thought process. In general, it can be used to organize things more efficiently with a visual and structural touch.
