Mind Mapping in Living Color

I'm going a million miles an hour this week folks. Send freeze dried coffee. Now.

Over the last few months, some great video tutorials have emerged for getting more out of your mind mapping, and I wanted to point you to them.

Brian Friedlander at Assistivetek recently posted a great video on using the format painter in MindManager. I'll even add to the tip: By holding down 'Control' with the format painter turned on, you can highlight as many topics as you like. Check it out here:

Gyronix has been on a spree in recent months as well, having recorded webinars on getting more out of ResultsManager and GyroQ:

And note the '10 Minute Extract from a Gyronix Training Session Video': That guy's name rhymes with style.

And yes, slowly and surely, I'm working toward the titanic (at least one of the escape boats!) release of my own video-based newsletter. Bling bling.

Dear Sir,
I have a question, if you could help. I am trying to mind map dictionary of phrasal verbs - "Cambridge Phrasal Verbs Dictionary" so that I could easily remember them. But I couldn't start-I mean I have started but couldn't branch it further. Could you please provide me an easier way to do it.
I would appreciate if you could provide a solution as soon as possible.

Thanks & Kind Regards,
Fahim Shaikh.

Hi Fahim,

I'm not sure which mapping software you are using, so I'll try to make my answer general. I think the key to mapping such a large body of information would be to have the main topics organized by subject or alphabetically. Otherwise, you may have 100s or 1000s of topics attached to the central topic.

Depending on which software you are using, you should be able to create a branching structure that is to your liking.

Feel free to leave a comment with more details about what software you are using and what specifically is preventing you from branching further.

And good luck!
