Create a free mind map quickly and easily using Mindomo

Whether you prefer to create online mind maps or you prefer to use Mindomo offline (on your Desktop or mobile apps), you can do it in a few minutes by following these simple steps:

1. CREATE a blank mind map from Mindomo Dashboard (or you can select a template – there are infinite canvases available in the Mindomo library).
2. Write the MAIN IDEA on the central topic. This is the major concept that you want to focus on.
3. Add CONNECTED IDEAS in subtopics (branches) that radiate from the central topic. Think about it like a brainstorming exercise and add any idea that is crossing your mind to the second level of your mind map.
4. CONTINUE ADDING MORE LEVELS to your mind map diagram. Each topic can have subtopics that have other subtopics, and so on. It’s up to you how deep you want to dive into the subject.
5. CUSTOMIZE your diagram (change color, shapes, fonts, sizes) and add MULTIMEDIA ELEMENTS: capture ideas in a visual format without limiting yourself only to short words in a radial structure. Add images, icons, videos, notes, comments, links, attachments, and more. 
6. SHARE your diagram with collaborators and edit it together. When you’re done, turn your mind map into a PRESENTATION and show it to your colleagues/clients/collaborators. 

Mind mapping is a great technique that boosts your creativity, improves understanding and memory, and organizes your ideas visually. Moreover, it’s great for project management. All of these at the same time.

Thanks to its multiple applications, you can use it in your personal life, at work, or at school.

How?

Mindomo is a simple to use mind mapping software that allows you to create a mind map like a pro, even if you are a beginner. The interface is user friendly and you can find everything easily, right when you need it.

Structuring information using a mind map is more effective than the traditional methods (plain text and notes). Start by writing the central idea and then just add branches or topics with the main connected ideas. After that, you add subtopics to each topic and so on.

This way, you can have a better overview of your thoughts, you can find everything and you memorize it faster.

Create to do lists, project management lists, time management,  brainstormings, book summaries, plan business meetings, learn a new language, business analysis, and more.

With Mindomo you can build mind maps along with friends or colleagues and edit them together. More minds are better than one.

Share your mind maps with other people instantly and give them access to edit them. Communicate with each other via the chat available in the software.

You can edit and see all the changes of your team members in real time. Therefore, even if you are at a distance, you can collaborate like you would be in the same place. Moreover, you can see the full history of changes that have been made to the map.

Teamwork projects are simpler when you have real time collaboration. Create and assign tasks to your team members. Everyone will know what to do, you’ll keep everything simple and organized. Project management will be easier than ever.

You can choose the option to receive email notifications when you receive new tasks or when someone edits the mind map.

You have two options when you create your maps:

◼ Online: you will have a web based mind map software which you can access from anywhere by logging in to your account.

◼ Offline: using the mind map mobile app or the Desktop version of the mind mapping software. You can use these versions without creating an account.

However, you can benefit from both alternatives. Save precious time when you work remotely or you don’t have an internet connection. Build your maps offline and synchronize everything with the online account afterward. You can sync everything with one click.

Present your amazing ideas to your friends or colleagues by showing them your mind map as a real presentation. Once your mind map is done you can transform it into a presentation in the same app. You save precious time by not using a different app where you have to start from scratch.

Just like you don’t need a separate tool to create an outline (for example Microsoft Word), or a Gantt chart, you can directly turn your mind maps into outlines, Gantt charts, or a presentation. 

With Mindomo you can choose the slides and select as many topics as you want in it. Moreover, the flow of your thoughts will be emphasized and all the keywords of your ideas will be accentuated.

Most importantly, a good presentation has only essential ideas written on the slides, not huge blocks of text. Rule 4 by 5 says you should have a maximum of 4 bullet points (or topics in our case) by 5 words each.

Another well known rule is to have a maximum of 33 words per slide. Using your mind map to create the presentation helps you a lot to stick to those tips. This way, your presentation will be the perfect visual support that will illustrate the central idea. You can detail each point verbally and explain it to your audience.
