Mind-mapping: Improving organization skills

Ξ April 16th, 2009 | → | ∇ Skills |

Personal skills improvement is a permanent goal for me. A while ago, as a result of a self-evaluation meeting, the goal of improving my organization was suggested when I stated that handling simultaneous tasks was something hard for me to do.

I tried several approaches to improve these skills, but none of them proved to be successful until I adopted Mind-mapping as an organization tool.
For those who are not familiar with the notion, a mindmap is a simple diagram in which ideas or concepts are balloons connected to each other, representing the connection between  similar or related ideas.

freemind, my favorite mind-mapping tool, is used for managing my daily tasks and I don’t forget a meeting, appointment, task or any of those dangling “to dos” for more than a month.

I’m glad I improved a little…
