You know what, I’ve had Freemind on my computer for about six months and have yet to crack into it. I guess I’m much more of an old-fashioned girl–paper and colored pens just make my happy and they are easy to operate! Let me know what you think of Freemind–I’m curious.

I’ve just started looking at using mind maps (like, yesterday), so your post comes just at the right time for me. I’m not a paper person though (I wrote one bubble in the middle of the paper and thought “I can’t do this here”), so I found myself some free software. Try http://freemind.sourceforge.net/ if you need it to be on a computer screen, like me.

Ah, I love that. I still need some kind of list because I can’t remember everything I need to do. I’m going to try weighting things on the list though so I can differentiate between the more creative, important and rewarding tasks. Sounds like you’ve mastered the system I’m trying to implement.

I guess that the first part was realising that the lists weren’t there to help me remember – I don’t forget what I need to do… But, without the lists, I naturally gravitate towards creative, important and rewarding tasks… rather than meticulously tackling every minor task which, in all honesty, probably doesn’t need to be done anyway!

Hi Steve,
I’d love to hear more about how you’ve been able to “simply give myself time” and stopped making lists. Wow! I’m impressed!

Thanks for the kudos of my site.

I love your containers! I used to take a very linear view of time – if there was space in my diary then I would simply fit tasks in it. The experience was miserable and I felt like I was on a tread-mill. I’ve stopped making lists now and simply give myself time… the containers are a great help with that process.

And, yep, a great website – really clean, easy to use and read. All the best for the future!

Steve

I used Havi’s as my inspiration. She’s taught me so much about letting your “youness” show through.

Sure, let’s set up a time to talk, maybe I can save you some time in the learning curve.
