  <![CDATA[<p>Hello!<br />Sorry, I posted my last message so long time ago, but I'm back)<br />Since I wrote here last time I have tried&nbsp;to use&nbsp;mind mapping in two different, new and interesting ways.</p>
<p>First, I wrote an algorithm with mind map tools. To put it more precisely - I wrote requirements specification for a software product. Advantages of mind mapping here is a high speed of creating.<br />When you write requirements specification, you should imagine all possible situations and soft' behavior. And you should FIX IT!<br />So, put the first state of your program as a main topic of the mind map. On the first level you should place all states which can be reached with one action from initial state. Next level is organized by states which can be reached from one of the 1 level states and so on.<br />In the end you will have a scheme of states of your program.<br />Mind mapping here is more comfortable then UML, for example. Because you can create mind map quickly and you should not think about correct formats of lines).<br /><font size="1">This blog is running by authors of Mind Pad(</font><a href="http://www.mind-pad.com)"><font size="1">www.mind-pad.com).</font></a><font size="1"></font></p>]]>

  <content type="text/html" mode="escaped" xml:lang="en" xml:base="http://www.mind-pad.com/blog">
  <![CDATA[<p>On of the most interesting variants of the tools I saw for organizing the tasks in Getting Things Done conception is Post-It Portable Workspace (PPW). I found it in Tammy Cravit's blog -&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tammycravit.com/blog/index.php/2005/07/02/introducing-the-post-it-portable-workspace/" target="_self">here</a> (visit it for some pictures and notes). <br />He says: <br />"The basic idea of the PPW is simple: I took a series of plastic sheet protectors, which provide a nice surface for Post-it notes to adhere to. Inside them, I placed sheets of card stock (file folders, cut down to 8-1/2 x 11) for rigidity, and I put the whole mess in a 3-ring binder.</p>
<p>Some features of the PPW that are worthy of note:<br />&nbsp;- Inside both covers of the binder, I’ve arranged extra Post-it notes; this allows me to capture incoming stuff on the go. <br />&nbsp;- The context labels on each page (in this view, the blue square in the far upper right corner, which says @Computer) are under the sheet protector. This prevents them from getting lost or stuck to the notes arranged on the page, but allows panels to be easily re-purposed if need be. <br />&nbsp;- Each panel is double-sided; my Getting Things Done contexts occupy both sides of the first three pages; I have another three or four panels in the back for projects. <br />My last panel is labeled “Inbox”, and provides a temporary storage area for incoming Post-its before I process them. "</p>
<p>This idea seems to me very interesting, because in such workspace you have two-dimensional space instead of notebook and list. It allows organizing your sticky notes as you need. For example, in mind map format. On the other hand, I'm afraid, that stickies are not such sticky as I need for stable fastening of my notes.</p>]]>

  <![CDATA[<p>In one of the Tony Buzan books he talks about list of words memorization. His test illustrates a mechanism mind mapping based on.<br />Let’s try to do it.<br />1. Try to memorize a list of 20 words in 5 minutes. I tried and it was only 7 words (((.<br />2. Think out what object does an each number look like? It is about 1-10 numbers. For other 1-10 numbers try to think out a rhyme. For example, for me 1 looks like a baseball bat. For better use – mind map your associations using pictures.<br />3. Try to compare your words with your associations and rhymes. Compose it into single sentence. For example, if your number is one and your word is “egg”, you may write something like “The egg was broken by the bat”.)))</p>
<p>As interesting – I really memorized all words!<br />According to this we may conclude all this:<br />-&nbsp;associations and pictures are one of the most powerful methods for thinking;<br />-&nbsp;we use this method not so often and we get used to think with words and it is not so good as it could be;<br />-&nbsp;mind mapping allows us to combine both of these methods and increase our effectiveness.<br /></p>]]>
