iThoughts Mind Mapping on My iPad
Monday, July 25, 2011 at 9:48PM 
I'm constantly looking to get more from meetings, speakers, or any information that comes my way. Organizing and breaking down large ideas is the only way I can wrap my head around complex concepts. To many times I've looked back at notes that I've taken during a meeting and it's impossible for me to decipher my thoughts even a few hours after the meeting.
That's a lousy place to be, because there isn't anyway to get that meeting back or the information covered.
I've recently found the conecpt of mind mapping. It's a quick and visual way to break down ideas and thoughts into different buckets and connect everything fluidly. You use a lot less descriptive text and it's amazing how much I retain even days after I have been exposed to the content.
It's visual and I love that. Of course you can draw out your mind maps on paper, but unfortunately I am allergic to paper and have the hand writing of a trained chimp so it's just not an option for me.
Luckily I ran into iThoughts HD. An iPad version of iThoughts that was originally launched on iPhone. This app lets you make really quick and slick mind maps on the fly during meetings. Of course that means you can bring in images, export them out and play with the data pretty fluidly. It's a simple and impressive app.
I know there are a lot fo mind mapping apps out there, but this is my first and I'm impressed with how quickly I got the hang of things.
Would love to hear from anyone else out there that is utilizing mind maps into their daily life and if there are any other apps out there that are worth the download.
Below is my first mind map that I put together to put my current life into some perspective. Im proud of the simple visual and invite you to try your own!
