			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As Mind Mapping becomes increasingly popular, more and more people are beginning to see how it can improve their everyday lives.</p>
<p>Besides helping you to become more organized, enhancing your productivity and efficiency, and simplifying project management, Mind Maps can also help you to achieve your goals in life.</p>
<p><em><strong>*Do you want to lose weight, but can’t seem to find the time to exercise and eat right?<br />
</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>*Do you want to save more money for the future, but you’re having difficulty designing a budget that enables you to pay your bills and still have some extra?<br />
</strong></em><br />
<strong>*Are you looking to buy a home, but don’t know where to start?<br />
</strong><br />
Mind Mapping can help you to get your ideas in order, organize the information you know, figure out what you don’t know, and give you an action plan for how to begin working toward your goals.</p>
<p>We all have goals, be they financial, family-oriented, lifestyle changes, et cetera.</p>
<p>Often, the hardest part of meeting your goals is knowing where to begin.  Many people know what they want to achieve, but don’t know how to go about working toward accomplishing their goals.  Others have only a vague idea of what they want – for example, you want your own home, but don’t know what area you want to live in, or what type of house you want to buy – and they never start working toward their goals, because those goals are unclear.</p>
<p><strong>Mind Mapping can help with both of these problems.</strong></p>
<p>People who make lists, or utilize other linear, and therefore limiting, forms of thinking, suffer from not knowing where to begin.  They try to organize their thoughts before putting them to paper, and constantly stop to edit what they’ve written, reorganize their ideas, and analyze their plan.</p>
<p>This leads to a situation where they are paralyzed, and very little gets accomplished.  This discourages and frustrates the planner, and usually, they crumple up the paper and give up, or put off the planning until another day.</p>
<p>Mind Mapping can solve this problem, because the most important part of Mind Mapping is to start – it doesn’t matter where – don’t stop to analyze or edit, and get all of your thoughts onto paper.</p>
<p>Once everything that was in your head is laid out on the page, it will become much easier to organize the information.  You can see what your ultimate goal is, what steps you have to take to accomplish that goal, and what obstacles you might encounter.</p>
<p>If necessary, turn each sub-topic into the central idea of a brand-new Map, to work through those obstacles, or break down the more complex actions you need to take into smaller, simpler steps.</p>
<p>Creating a Mind Map to narrow down your objective is a little more complicated.</p>
<p>First, you have to outline your basic goal.  For example, let’s say that you want to buy a house, but you’re not sure exactly what you’re looking for.</p>
<p>Create a Mind Map with a simple, broad central idea: “Buy a house.”  If you were so inclined, you could create an image of your ideal house, organize the sub-topics in the shape of a house, et cetera.</p>
<p>Next, start listing all of the characteristics you need to think about, to decide what you want in a house.</p>
<p>*How many floors?<br />
*How many bedrooms and bathrooms?<br />
*Do you want a garage?<br />
*How big do you want your yard to be?</p>
<p>Move on to the area you’d like to live in –</p>
<p>what are your priorities?<br />
Good schools?<br />
Low crime rate?<br />
Shopping areas close by?</p>
<p>Continue in this manner until you have listed all of the necessary characteristics of your dream home, and the area in which it is situated.</p>
<p>Now, just by putting your ideas to paper, you have a list of criteria that will greatly narrow down your search, whether you are looking on your own, or enlisting the help of a realtor.</p>
<p>Your search will be much simpler and easier now that you can say, “This is what I want; these characteristics are most important, these I might be willing to compromise on.”  This is only one example of how Mind Maps can help to narrow down goals; there are many others, and the Map you create can be tailored to suit your individual goal-setting needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>    <strong>Energy or any resource that is expended without producing something good is energy wasted. </strong></p>
<p>    It cannot be reclaimed once it’s gone.</p>
<p>    If a working environment is such that it sucks the life force out of employees, then as a result, there is poor productivity.</p>
<p>    So why is productivity important? Increasing productivity means being able to generate more results without more people, more resources, more money, more time or more energy.</p>
<p>    So basically, it’s a win-win situation for everybody. Many companies have subjected their employees to training and workshops.</p>
<p>    Productivity training helps everyone succeed and thrive by providing simple and effective solutions for organization and productivity work.</p>
<p>    <strong>Through productivity trainings, employees are able to:</strong></p>
<p>    •Make more strategic and conscious choices about where they invest their time, energy and resources<br />
    •Think more clearly and creatively in a calm and ordered workspace<br />
    •Feel as competent as they really are<br />
    •Focus on the things that really matter</p>
<p>    <strong>Productivity trainings show various means on how to increase productivity in the office. </strong></p>
<p>    One remarkable  way of increasing productivity is by using mind maps.</p>
<p>    Mind mapping is a terrific productivity tool that also excels at helping busy executives, gather, organize, analyze and make<br />
    decisions about information &#8211; an essential tool for managing information overload.</p>
<p>    It can also help illuminate new opportunities that weren&#8217;t possible to see until you visualize them.</p>
<p>    Often times when employees are anxious and don’t know how to accomplish something, instead of taking action, they stop in their tracks and put off the process.</p>
<p>    <em><strong>It is because the big picture overwhelms them. </strong></em></p>
<p>    This is where mind maps come in.</p>
<p>    One can use mind mapping to help clarify the big picture, and then move to figuring out the details and actions that need to be taken.</p>
<p>    Mind mapping also allows you to make your thinking process and ideas concrete.</p>
<p>    Others use mind maps to archive and organize files that would typically be scattered around.</p>
<p>    In mind mapping, you start with a central thought or idea, then add branches or subcategories to breakdown the topic.</p>
<p>    Some maps can grow to hundreds of “thoughts” or branches over time.</p>
<p>    And since mind maps are organized in a way that makes sense to you, it never feels overwhelming.</p>
<p>    The method of mind mapping has become so popular and widely used that there has been many mind mapping software available in the market today.</p>
<p>    The diagramming of ideas and concepts to help streamline thought processes and organize information has come a long way since the standard pencil-and-paper method.</p>
<p>    <strong>Mind Mapper Is Suitable To All Users:</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Mind maps allow for greater creativity when recording ideas and information, as well as allowing one to associate words with visual representations.</p>
<p>It encourages relational thinking.</p>
<p>It is a simple and quick tool used to generate ideas and aid in thinking outside the box.</p>
<p><strong>It can help you greatly with such tasks as:</strong></p>
<p><em>•Goal setting,<br />
•Project planning,<br />
•Information organization,<br />
•Brainstorming,<br />
•Note taking,<br />
•Writing an article or report,<br />
•Studying new subjects or preparing for an exam,<br />
•Financial analysis,<br />
•Problem solving,<br />
•Decision making,</em></p>
<p><strong>Here are a few techniques on how to create an effective mind map:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.The central idea is where all other branches revolve.<br />
</strong>In the case of goal setting, the central idea could be the overall direction of your goals.</p>
<p>Starting from the central idea, draw lines to the side to represent the sub categories of your central idea.</p>
<p>Arrange these branches of thought in a radial manner to avoid hierarchy, as all ideas should be treated equally.</p>
<p>To avoid confusion and better organization, use thick lines for the branches nearer to the central idea and thinner ones as you move out.</p>
<p><strong>2.If possible, use pictures to associate concepts and ideas.<br />
</strong>For example, in financial analysis, you can use graphs. In project planning, you can use icons and images of what your project is all about. By using colors and placing images near concepts, it not only becomes fun but you can enhance the visual power of your mind map as well.</p>
<p><strong>3.Put as much ideas as you can on your mind map.<br />
</strong>You can edit later, but for the mean time, don’t restrain your thoughts.</p>
<p><strong>Write down every idea in your mind that is associated with your central topic.</strong> <strong>What seems irrelevant now may be very useful later on.</strong></p>
<p><strong>4.Set a definite time frame to finish your mind map.<br />
</strong>By setting an appropriate time, you will be able to stay focus on the task at hand.</p>
<p>You will be surprised by how much you can accomplish in a given period of time.</p>
<p><strong>5.Having the proper tool is important to achieve good results.<br />
</strong>A large sheet of blank paper can be used in making a mind map along with pens and coloring materials.</p>
<p>However, today you can now purchase a mind mapping software.</p>
<p>Mind mapping software is just like the traditional pen and paper mind maps but easier to make as you can just edit and modify your mind map any time you want without having to do everything all over again.</p>
<p><strong>Mind Mapper Is Suitable To All Users:</strong></p>
<p>With Three Versions Of Mind Mapper Available To Suit All Types Of Users And Budgets There Is No Better Time To Start Mind Mapping With MindMapper!&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Mind Mapping as a Creative Thinking Exercise</strong></p>
<p>There are some important elements one needs to know if you want to improve your creative thinking.</p>
<p>According to psychological research, these elements include using <em><strong>colors, shapes, unique elements, and dimensions</strong></em>.</p>
<p>More studies show that mind maps are the best tools in promoting creative thinking.</p>
<p>It promotes skills commonly associated with creativity, especially imagination, flexibility and association of ideas.</p>
<p><strong>What are mind maps?</strong><br />
Mind Maps are visual diagram with lines and bubbles that represent ideas and the relationships between them. The central idea is found in the middle with related topics branching out from them. It is then broken down to different subtopics that relate to the central idea.</p>
<p>By using mind mapping as a creative thinking exercise, this can promote people to create many creative and innovative ideas.</p>
<p><strong>There are 5 stages of the Creative thinking process:<br />
</strong><br />
<strong>1) The Quick-Fire Mind Map Burst:<br />
</strong>Choose any topic that interests you. To represent that topic, draw a central image on a blank paper or any material that you can write on.</p>
<p>You should let ideas flow as fast as possible to encourage new ideas. At first you may feel that some ideas seem illogical or senseless, but still, write them down because these ideas may be useful later on.</p>
<p><strong>2) First Reconstruction and Revision:<br />
</strong>Have a short break and allow your mind to rest and integrate ideas. Create another mind map but this time, try to categorize the preliminary ideas.</p>
<p>You can build hierarchies and identical ideas should be given attention. Through mind maps, individuals can explore and grow.</p>
<p><strong>3) Incubation:<br />
</strong>Creative ideas often occur when the brain is relaxed (sleeping, daydreaming, running etc).  The thinking process can create probable breakthroughs in this stage.</p>
<p><strong>4) Second Reconstruction And Revision:<br />
</strong>At this stage, you have a fresh perception of your first and second Mind maps so it would be a great time to do another mind map burst. Integrate the information gathered in stages 1, 2 and 3 to create a final Mind Map.</p>
<p><strong>5) The Final Stage:<br />
</strong>After creating the final mind map, all you need to do now is search for the decision, solutions and realizations since this was your original goal.</p>
<p>Once you’ve tried doing these 5 Stages of Creative Thinking , you will be surprised with the all the innovative and creative ideas coming your way.</p>
<p>For those who haven’t had any experience with mind mapping, there are mind mapping software available in the market today. Computer based mind mapping is as good as the traditional method of mind mapping.</p>
<p>By using mind mapping, you can now uncover your creative thinking.</p>
