It helps me see the feasibility of projects or scheduling and it helps me stay on track. Mind mapping takes alllll of that and lets me get as detailed as I want while retaining the big picture. I have a lot of ideas all the time, and they get overwhelming – and I've tried so many different things – I make lists and just never look at them again, or have a million interests and project plans with goal sheets of things I want to do that don't connect to each other, and don't take into account everything else I'm doing (or the actual time I have to do them in). I delved heavy into a many of the alternative techniques for mental organization like brain dumps and productivity habits like the pomodoro technique – if there's an organization acronym or catch phrase, I probably know it. I've read most of the books out there covering everything from memory palaces to GTD to Atomic Habits. I LOVE the studies of productivity, time and organization. I discovered mind mapping years ago, but it was all by hand then. Primarily on Twitch and soon to be on Skillshare. I create in a lot of mediums and produce content all over the internet.
