Mind maps are a great way to unlock your creativity. Essentially mind maps are a visual way to organise your thoughts, do some brainstorming or planning and even make you more productive. Mind maps allow you to investigate lots of ideas quickly and then you end up with a visual overview of the problem.

The software mindmup is a free application that allows you to develop a mindmap (and it’s fun!).

There’s also an excellent tutorial to show you how to use the software.

What to do?
1. Go to mindmup
2. Pick a problem you would like to work on
3. Put that problem and write a word or upload an image that represents the problem in the central node
4. Build nodes from there!

Have fun 🙂
