Taking notes during lectures or presentations.Mind mapping is my main method of recording meeting notes, and with the right app it’s very easy to export content directly to meeting attendees via email. For example, I may produce a mind map on the concept of ‘mediation’ or ‘professionalism’, and lay out different definitions, how the concept has been addressed by various authors, how it has developed over time, how it has been used empirically, and how I can integrate it into my own writing. I find that mind mapping is a good tool when I want to explore how particular concepts or key questions have been addressed within research literature. Mind mapping is a great way of laying out that first structuring of the data material. I work with qualitative data, and my first step during data analysis is usually to repeatedly read transcripts to gain familiarity with the data, while making notes based on a predominantly inductive analysis. My work flow is generally that I start with brain storming, then produce a more targeted outline using mind mapping based on the previous brainstorming session, and then I change to more dedicated outlining apps like OmniOutliner. I like to use mind maps when I create new outlines for writing projects. Mind mapping provides an intuitive way of organising and chunking different ideas that come out of a free flowing brainstorming session, as well as creating connections between them. Brainstorming ideas for new writing projects.I use mind mapping for a range of purposes to support my academic work: In this post, I’ll talk about how I use mind mapping, and which apps I find most useful for my purposes. The main advantage, for me, is that it provides a more visual and non linear way of working than if you were to just use a regular page in a word processor. Mind mapping is a popular tool for brainstorming and organising ideas.
